Ceratopipra is a genus of passerine birds in the family Pipridae.
The genus Ceratopipra was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854 with the scarlet-horned manakin as the type species. [1] [2] The name Ceratopipra combines the Ancient Greek κερας keras, κερατος keratos "horn" with the genus Pipra introduced by Carl Linnaeus in 1764. [3]
The genus contains the five species: [4]
| Image | Scientific name | Common name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| | Ceratopipra cornuta | Scarlet-horned manakin | Venezuela and adjacent Guyana and northern Brazil |
| | Ceratopipra mentalis | Red-capped manakin | Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru and Panama. |
| | Ceratopipra erythrocephala | Golden-headed manakin | from Panama, Colombia and Trinidad south and east to the Guianas and Brazil and northern Peru |
| | Ceratopipra rubrocapilla | Red-headed manakin | Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. |
| | Ceratopipra chloromeros | Round-tailed manakin | Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. |
These species were previously included in the genus Pipra , but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that this placement renders Pipra non-monophyletic. [5] [6] [7]
