Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)

Black-throated Tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus granadensis) - HBW 9, p. 327

French: Todirostre à gorge noire German: Schwarzkehl-Todityrann Spanish: Titirijí Gorginegro

Taxonomy: Todirostrum granadense Hartlaub, 1843, “Bogotá” = Santa Elena, Antioquia, Colombia.
Formerly treated in genus Euscarthmornis and later in Idioptilon, both of which are now defunct. Possibly a member of the superspecies formed by H. mirandae, H. cinnamomeipectus and H. kaempferi. Vocal and plumage differences across its range suggest that more than one species may be involved. Race andinus doubtfully distinct from intensus. Seven subspecies currently recognized.
