French: Tyranneau frangé
German: Blassspitzen-Tachurityrann
Spanish: Piojito Coludo
Taxonomy: Capsiempis caudata Salvin, 1897, Ourumee, Guyana.
Genus as currently constituted is probably polyphyletic. Present species and I. subflava closely related and formerly considered conspecific; recently split on basis of differences in plumage, iris colour and, especially, vocal behaviour. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- intermedia Cory, 1913 - NE Colombia (lower Magdalena Valley, Santa Marta region) and N Venezuela (Maracaibo Basin, and Portuguesa E to Sucre).
- caudata (Salvin, 1897) - C & E Venezuela (from Apure, lower R Caura, R Orinoco and Delta Amacuro) E through the Guianas, and N Brazil (R Branco region and Amapá).
