Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Lemon-browed Flycatcher (Conopias cinchoneti) - HBW 9, p. 412
French: Tyran à sourcils jaunes
German: Gelbbrauen-Maskentyrann
Spanish: Bienteveo Cejiamarillo
Taxonomy: T[yrannus] cinchoneti Tschudi, 1844, highlands of Junín, Peru.
Has been hypothesized, on basis of hole-nesting behaviour, that genus may be most closely related to Myiodynastes, with this clade basal to a “Tyrannus group” that also includes Megarynchus, Tyrannopsis, Empidonomus and Griseotyrannus; molecular-sequence data, however, do not support an affinity between these two genera, but strongly suggest that present genus is part of that group to the exclusion of Myiodynastes. Molecular data strongly indicate that present species and C. trivirgatus are sister-species, most closely related to a c.. View all taxonomy...
Has been hypothesized, on basis of hole-nesting behaviour, that genus may be most closely related to Myiodynastes, with this clade basal to a “Tyrannus group” that also includes Megarynchus, Tyrannopsis, Empidonomus and Griseotyrannus; molecular-sequence data, however, do not support an affinity between these two genera, but strongly suggest that present genus is part of that group to the exclusion of Myiodynastes. Molecular data strongly indicate that present species and C. trivirgatus are sister-species, most closely related to a clade consisting of C. albovittatus and C. parvus. Geographical limits of races and the differences between them not well defined; may require revision. Two subspecies currently recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- icterophrys (Lafresnaye, 1845) - W Venezuela (Sierra de Perijá, W slope of Andes in W Mérida and W Trujillo, E slope in NW Barinas), Colombia (locally in all three ranges, but doubtfully on E slope of E Andes) and extreme NW Ecuador (Carchi).
- cinchoneti (Tschudi, 1844) - E Ecuador (foothills and subtropical zone on E slope) and N & C Andes of Peru (San Martín, Huánuco, Junín, Cuzco).
