Cotingas (Cotingidae)

Grey-tailed Piha (Snowornis subalaris) - HBW 9, p. 88

French: Cotinga à queue grise German: Grauschwanzpiha Spanish: Guardabosques Coligrís
Other common names: Grey-tailed Cotinga

Taxonomy: Lipaugus subalaris P. L. Sclater, 1861, River Napo, Ecuador.
Closely related to S. cryptolophus; both formerly placed in genus Lipaugus, but morphological study and recent analysis of DNA sequences indicate only remote relationship to latter; previously suggested placement in genus Lathria, but that name unavailable. Monotypic.

Distribution: E slopes of Andes locally in S Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru (San Martín, Pasco, S Madre de Dios).
