About the Striolated Manakin
The striolated manakin or western striped manakin (Machaeropterus striolatus) is a small South American species of passerine bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Venezuela.
The striolated manakin was originally described by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1838 and given the binomial name Pipra striolata. The species is now placed in the genus Machaeropterus that was introduced by Bonaparte in 1854.
The striolated manakin has five subspecies. They were long treated as subspecies of M. regulus with the English name "striped manakin". Following several studies published beginning in 1999, taxonomic systems began separating M. striolatus from M. regulus with the respective English names "western" and "eastern" striped manakin. By 2018 systems were using the current English names "striolated" and "kinglet" manakin for the two.
The five subspecies are: M. s. antioquiae Chapman, 1924 M. s. striolatus (Bonaparte, 1838) M. s. obscurostriatus Phelps & Gilliard, 1941 M. s. zulianus Phelps & Phelps Jr, 1952 M. s. aureopectus Phelps & Gilliard, 1941 The morphologically similar painted manakin from... Wikipedia →
