Chestnut-bellied Flowerpiercer (Diglossa gloriosissima) - HBW 16, p. 270
French: Percefleur à ventre marron
German: Maronenbauch-Hakenschnabel
Spanish: Pinchaflor Ventrirrufo
Other common names: Chestnut-bellied Flowerpecker
Taxonomy: Diglossa gloriosissima Chapman, 1912, Andes, west of Popayán, 10,340 feet [c. 3150 m], Cauca, Colombia.
Genus has sometimes been placed in Coerebidae or Parulidae or even, because of an apparent close relationship to Acanthidops, in Emberizidae. Molecular phylogenies indicate that it is most closely related to Xenodacnis and to Acanthidops, Haplospiza and Catamenia (the last three genera currently placed in Emberizidae), and that all clearly belong in present family. Members of this clade may also be closely related to the Oreomanes–Conirostrum clade. This species forms a superspecies with D. lafresnayii and D. mystacalis, and all .. View all taxonomy...
Genus has sometimes been placed in Coerebidae or Parulidae or even, because of an apparent close relationship to Acanthidops, in Emberizidae. Molecular phylogenies indicate that it is most closely related to Xenodacnis and to Acanthidops, Haplospiza and Catamenia (the last three genera currently placed in Emberizidae), and that all clearly belong in present family. Members of this clade may also be closely related to the Oreomanes–Conirostrum clade. This species forms a superspecies with D. lafresnayii and D. mystacalis, and all formerly considered conspecific; molecular-genetic data indicate that present species and D. mystacalis are more closely related to each other than either is to D. lafresnayii. Two subspecies recognized.
