Lepidothrix

Lepidothrix is a genus of passerine birds in the manakin family Pipridae. Birds in the genus are predominately found in South America, but one species, the blue-crowned manakin, also ranges into Central America. The females of this genus have green plumage with yellow bellies, as do some of the males. The remaining males have black plumage with white or blue crowns. Some also have yellow bellies or blue rumps.[3]

Taxonomy

The genus Lepidothrix was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854.[4] The type species was subsequently designated as the blue-crowned manakin.[5] The name Lepidothrix combines the Ancient Greek words λεπις lepis, λεπιδος lepidos "scale, flake" and θριξ thrix, τριχος trikhos "hair".[6]

The genus contains eight species:[7]
