Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)

Streak-necked Flycatcher (Mionectes striaticollis) - HBW 9, p. 308

French: Pipromorphe strié German: Graukappen-Pipratyrann Spanish: Mosquero Gorgiestriado

Taxonomy: M[uscicapa] striaticollis d’Orbigny and Lafresnaye, 1837, Yuracarés, Bolivia.
Closely related to M. olivaceus. Proposed race poliocephalus (Pasco and Junín, in C Peru) merged with nominate, as it occupies an indistinct zone of intergradation between subspecifically recognizable plumage patterns of N & S Peru; similarly, selvae (W Andes of Colombia) merged with columbianus, as these populations occupy a zone of diffuse intergradation between grey-crowned latter race and green-crowned viridiceps. Four subspecies recognized.

Subspecies and Distribution:

  • columbianus Chapman, 1919 - Andes of Colombia (except SW) S to E Ecuador.
  • viridiceps Chapman, 1924 - W Andean slopes from SW Colombia S to SW Ecuador.
  • palamblae Chapman, 1927 - Andes of N Peru from Piura, Cajamarca and San Martín S to Huánuco.
  • striaticollis (d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) - S Peru (S from Cuzco and Madre de Dios) S to N Bolivia (La Paz, Cochabamba, N Santa Cruz).
