Tiny Tyrant-Manakin (Tyranneutes virescens)
About the Tiny Tyrant-Manakin
The tiny tyrant-manakin or tiny tyranneutes (Tyranneutes virescens) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae, the manakins. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. The tiny tyrant-manakin was originally described by Pelzeln in 1868 as Pipra virescens. It was later transferred to genus Tyranneutes that Sclater and Salvin erected in 1881. They named T. brachyurus as the type specimen and it was later realized that T. brachyurus was the same species as Pelzeln's P. virescens so the earlier specific epithet took precedence. The tiny tyrant-manakin is monotypic. It shares genus Tyranneutes with the dwarf tyrant-manakin (T. stolzmanni) and the two form a superspecies.
