Piprites is a genus of bird traditionally placed in the family Pipridae, although it remains unclear if this is correct. The IUCN and Clements have it traditionally placed in Pipridae, while the IOC have it placed in the Tyrannidae. In 2014 Edward Dickinson and Leslie Christidis in the fourth edition of the Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World placed Piprites in its own family Pipritidae.[1] However a proposal to place Piprites in Pipritidae was rejected by the South American Classification Committee (SACC) of the American Ornithologists' Union in 2016.[2]
