Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Plumbeous-crowned Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias plumbeiceps) - HBW 9, p. 261
French: Tyranneau plombé
German: Graukronen-Kleintyrann
Spanish: Mosquerito Coroniplomizo
Taxonomy: Pogonotriccus plumbeiceps Lawrence, 1869, “Bogotá”, Colombia.
Genus as presently constituted may be polyphyletic; objective phylogenetic analysis, using molecular characters as well as anatomical ones, is required in order to define generic limits. Anatomical evidence suggests that P. fasciatus, P. griseocapilla and P. griseiceps may be unrelated to others of genus, some or all of which possibly better placed in resurrected genus Tyranniscus. Present species was for long placed in a separate genus, Oreotriccus, originally by itself and later with P. griseocapilla, but appears not to be close to latter. Monotypic.. View all taxonomy...
