Lophotriccus is a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
The genus was introduced by the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch in 1884.[1][2] The type species was subsequently designated as a subspecies of the scale-crested pygmy tyrant (Lophotriccus pileatus squamaecrista) by the English zoologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1884.[3][4] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek lophos meaning "crest" with trikkos which is an unidentified small bird. In ornithology triccus is used to denote a tyrant flycatcher.[5]
