Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Three-striped Flycatcher (Conopias trivirgatus) - HBW 9, p. 411
French: Tyran à triple bandeau
German: Olivbrust-Maskentyrann
Spanish: Bienteveo Trilistado
Taxonomy: M[uscicapa] trivirgata Wied, 1831, Bahia, Brazil.
Has been hypothesized, on basis of hole-nesting behaviour, that genus may be most closely related to Myiodynastes, with this clade basal to a “Tyrannus group” that also includes Megarynchus, Tyrannopsis, Empidonomus and Griseotyrannus; molecular-sequence data, however, do not support an affinity between these two genera, but strongly suggest that present genus is part of that group to the exclusion of Myiodynastes. Molecular data strongly indicate that present species and C. cinchoneti are sister-species, most closely related to a cl.. View all taxonomy...
Has been hypothesized, on basis of hole-nesting behaviour, that genus may be most closely related to Myiodynastes, with this clade basal to a “Tyrannus group” that also includes Megarynchus, Tyrannopsis, Empidonomus and Griseotyrannus; molecular-sequence data, however, do not support an affinity between these two genera, but strongly suggest that present genus is part of that group to the exclusion of Myiodynastes. Molecular data strongly indicate that present species and C. cinchoneti are sister-species, most closely related to a clade consisting of C. albovittatus and C. parvus. Races widely separated geographically, possibly represent two separate species. Two subspecies currently recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- berlepschi E. Snethlage, 1914 - Venezuela (S Bolívar), extreme NE Ecuador (E Sucumbíos, E Napo), N Brazil (both banks of lower Amazon, from Manacapurú and Tefé E to Óbidos and Santarém, also Maranhão), E Peru (Loreto, Ucayali, Madre de Dios) and NC Bolivia (Cochabamba).
- trivirgatus (Wied, 1831) - SE Brazil (SE Bahia S to Paraná), E Paraguay (E from Paraguarí) and NE Argentina (Misiones, NE Corrientes).
