Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Chapman's Bristle-tyrant (Pogonotriccus chapmani) - HBW 9, p. 303
French: Tyranneau de Chapman
German: Olivkappen-Laubtyrann
Spanish: Orejerito de Chapman
Other common names: Chapman’s Tyrannulet
Taxonomy: Phylloscartes chapmani Gilliard, 1940, Cerro Roraima, 4200 feet [c. 1280 m], Venezuela.
Genus previously merged with Phylloscartes, and that treatment retained by many authors; despite superficial similarities, however, the two groups differ significantly in foraging behaviour and postures, possibly also in details of nest (little known), and perhaps are not even closely related to one another. Two subspecies recognized.

- chapmani (Gilliard, 1940) - tepui region of S Venezuela (S Bolívar and N Amazonas) and adjacent Guyana and Brazil.
- duidae (Phelps, Sr & Phelps, Jr, 1951) - Cerros Duida and Neblina in S Venezuela (S Amazonas) and adjoining Brazil.
- Least Concern
