Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Ringed Antpipit (Corythopis torquatus) - HBW 9, p. 293
French: Corythopis à collier
German: Nördlicher Brustbandtyrann
Spanish: Mosquero Terrestre Norteño
Taxonomy: Corythopis torquata Tschudi, 1844, Chanchamayo Valley, Junín, Peru.
Genus was for long placed in the family Formicariidae or together with the gnateaters (Conopophaga) in the Conopophagidae; numerous anatomical, behavioural and genetic characters, however, indicate affinities within present family, probably closest to Pseudotriccus. This species forms a superspecies with C. delalandi; the two are possibly conspecific, but differ vocally, also slightly in plumage, and ranges apparently overlap in C Brazil (upper R Xingu drainage).

Genus was for long placed in the family Formicariidae or together with the gnateaters (Conopophaga) in the Conopophagidae; numerous anatomical, behavioural and genetic characters, however, indicate affinities within present family, probably closest to Pseudotriccus. This species forms a superspecies with C. delalandi; the two are possibly conspecific, but differ vocally, also slightly in plumage, and ranges apparently overlap in C Brazil (upper R Xingu drainage). Races intergrade broadly, and individual variation pronounced; proposed race subtorquatus described from two specimens (one of each sex) from Amazon region of N Bolivia, but indistinguishable from nominate in scrutiny of larger series of specimens from same region and adjacent SE Peru. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- sarayacuensis Chubb, 1918 - Amazon Basin in SE Colombia, E Ecuador and NE Peru.
- anthoides (Pucheran, 1855) - Amazon and S Orinoco Basins in S Venezuela, the Guianas and Brazil (E to N Maranhão, S to N Goiás, N Mato Grosso and Rondônia).
- torquatus Tschudi, 1844 - Amazon Basin in EC & SE Peru, W Brazil and N Bolivia.
