Rose-breasted Chat (Granatellus pelzelni) - HBW 15, p. 800
French: Granatelle de Pelzeln

Other common names: Rose-breasted Warbler
Taxonomy: Granatellus pelzelni P. L. Sclater, 1865, Destaramento de Ribierão, River Madeira, Brazil.
Placement of genus in present family has been questioned; in particular, recent research indicates that it appears not to form part of a monophyletic parulid family, and a more recent study suggests that it may belong with the cardinals (Cardinalidae). This species forms a superspecies with G. venustus and G. sallaei. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- pelzelni P. L. Sclater, 1865 - S & SE Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, C & E Amazonian Brazil and extreme N Bolivia; probably also French Guiana and extreme E Colombia.
