French: Ada de Jelski
German: Andendunkeltyrann

Taxonomy: Ochthodiaeta signatus Taczanowski, 1875, Auquimarca and Ninabamba, Peru.
Taxonomic history complex. Races earlier treated as two distinct species in separate genera, nominate being placed in Ochthodiaeta (now Myiotheretes) and cabanisi in present genus; subsequent authors generally considered them conspecific, and moved nominate to current genus, although with suggestion by some that they may be separate species. More recently, various authors have treated races either as conspecific or as representing two distinct species forming a superspecies. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- signatus (Taczanowski, 1875) - extreme S Ecuador, N & C Peru (Amazonas to Huánuco, Junín).
