Stripe-necked Tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus striaticollis) - HBW 9, p. 323

French: Todirostre à cou rayé German: Streifenkehl-Todityrann Spanish: Titirijí Gorgiestriado

Taxonomy: Todirostrum striaticolle Lafresnaye, 1853, Bahia, Brazil.
Formerly treated in genus Euscarthmornis and later in Idioptilon, both now defunct. Was considered conspecific with H. iohannis, but the two occur sympatrically at several localities in Peru and Bolivia. Validity of race griseiceps doubtful. Birds from N Peru and C Brazil (Mato Grosso), supposedly with darker crown and more olive wash on breast side, described as a third race, obscuriceps; considered indistinguishable from nominate because of range of individual variation in latter. Two subspecies recognized.
