Biology:Nesotriccus
From HandWiki
Nesotriccus is a genus of Central and South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
Taxonomy
The genus Nesotriccus was introduced in 1895 by the American zoologist Charles Haskins Townsend with Nesotriccus ridgwayi Townsend CH 1895, the Cocos tyrannulet as the type species.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek νησος/nēsos meaning "island" with the genus Triccus that had been introduced in 1846 by Jean Cabanis for a tody-tyrant.[3][4]
Species
The genus contains four species:[5]
| Image | Scientific name | Common name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Nesotriccus murinus | Mouse-colored tyrannulet | from Costa Rica and Panama south to Brazil and northern Argentina |
| 120px | Nesotriccus ridgwayi | Cocos tyrannulet | Cocos Island |
| 120px | Nesotriccus tumbezanus | Tumbesian tyrannulet | southwest Ecuador and northwest Peru |
| 120px | Nesotriccus maranonicus | Maranon tyrannulet | northeastern Peru |
The Tumbesian tyrannulet was formerly considered conspecific with the widespread mouse-colored tyrannulet. The two species are visually very similar, but vocally distinct.[6]
