DEFINITIONS
CHLOROPIPO
(Pipridae; Ϯ Yellow-headed Manakin C. flavicapilla) Gr. χλωρος khlōros light green, yellow; πιπων pipōn or πιπρω piprō unknown small bird (cf. πιπω pipō woodpecker). In ornithology pipo and pipra were generally treated as the same bird. Certainly, Cabanis always considered them to be identical. However, whereas pipō was undoubtedly a pied woodpecker, the small bird pipra (with variations piprō, piprōs and pipōn) has never been satisfactorily identified; "ANTICORYS ... Hierher ist auch noch zu stellen die Gattung Chloropipo Nob. (von χλωρος, grünlichgelb und πιπω = πιπρα), weiche von den typischen Formen der Gattung Pipra durch weit gestrecktere Gestalt, viel längere Flügel und bedeutend kürzere Läufe wesentlich abweicht; auch characterisirt sie ihr glanzloses, vorherrschend grünlichgelbes Gefieder. Typus derselben ist: C. flavicollis. — Pipra flavicollis Scl. R. & Mag. Z. 1852. p. 9 — Id. Contrib. Orn. 1852. p. 132. — Id. B. Bogot. p. 24. 253. — Pipra plumosa Licht. in Mus. Berol. (Neugranada)." (Cabanis & Heine 1859); "Chloropipo Cabanis and Heine, 1859, Mus. Heineanum, 2, p. 90. Type, by original designation, Chloropipo flavicollis Cabanis and Heine = Pipra flavicapilla Sclater." (Snow in Peters, 1979, VIII, p. 252).
