French: Manakin à col d’or German: Goldbandpipra Spanish: Saltarín Cuellidorado
Other common names: Greenish-bellied Manakin (viridiventris and milleri); Almirante Manakin (“M. cerritus”)

Taxonomy: Pipra vitellina Gould, 1843, Panama City, Panama.
Genus possibly closest to Chiroxiphia and Antilophia. Its four members form a superspecies, and all sometimes treated as conspecific under the name M. manacus. Alternatively, present species has been considered by some to be conspecific only with M. aurantiacus. Hybridizes with M. candei in Panama (Bocas del Toro), where hybrid forms have been treated as a distinct species, M. cerritus; hybridizes also with M. manacus in Colombia (lower Cauca Valley, also SW Cauca). Four subspecies recognized.
