Cotingas (Cotingidae)
White-cheeked Cotinga (Zaratornis stresemanni) - HBW 9, p. 75
French: Cotinga à joues blanches
German: Weißohrkotinga
Spanish: Cotinga Cariblanco
Taxonomy: Zaratornis stresemanni Koepcke, 1954, River Rímac, Lima, Peru.
Genus sometimes merged with Ampelion, but differs in details of skull structure and has distinct plumage. Both genera, along with Doliornis, appear to form a clade, which suggested by anatomical research and recent genetic data as being closely related to Phytotoma. Monotypic.
Distribution: Andes of W Peru (La Libertad S locally to Ayacucho).
