French: Todirostre de Kaempfer German: Ockerbrust-Todityrann Spanish: Titirijí de Kaempfer

Taxonomy: Idioptilon mirandae kaempferi J. T. Zimmer, 1953, Salto do Piraí, 450 feet [c. 140 m], Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Formerly treated in the now defunct genus Idioptilon and originally regarded as a race of H. mirandae. Forms a superspecies with latter and H. kaempferi, perhaps also including H. granadensis and H. furcatus. Curved outer rectrices and buffy head coloration suggest a relationship to last-mentioned. Monotypic.
