Cotingas (Cotingidae)
Olivaceous Piha (Snowornis cryptolophus) - HBW 9, p. 88
French: Cotinga olivâtre
German: Gelbbauchpiha
Spanish: Guardabosques Oliváceo
Other common names: Olivaceous Cotinga
Taxonomy: Lathria cryptolopha P. L. Sclater and Salvin, 1877, Monji, Ecuador.
Closely related to S. subalaris; both formerly placed in genus Lipaugus, but morphological study and recent analysis of DNA sequences indicate only remote relationship to that genus; previously suggested placement in genus Lathria, but that name unavailable. Two subspecies recognized.

- cryptolophus (P. L. Sclater & Salvin, 1877) - E Andes of Colombia (S from head of Magdalena Valley) and Ecuador, and E & C Andean slopes of Peru (S to Huánuco).
