- Three nuclear introns and one mitochondrial gene were used to investigate the phylogeny of Pipridae.
- Monophyly of Neopelminae and Piprinae, as well as Piprini and Ilicurini, are confirmed.
- Two genera, Chloropipo and Pipra, are found to be non-monophyletic.
- A modified classification of Pipridae is proposed, including a new genus name for Chloropipo holochlora.
The phylogenetic relationships within the manakin family (Pipridae) were investigated with sequence data from three nuclear introns and one mitochondrial protein-coding gene. This study confirms a sister group relationship between Neopelminae and Piprinae. We also find support for dividing the Piprinae into two principal clades: Ilicurini and Piprini. The genera Pipra and Chloropipo are found to be polyphyletic. Chloropipo species are placed in three different clades, including two species in an unresolved position alongside Ilicurini and Piprini. We propose a new classification of the family, where the most important modifications include recognizing the genus Ceratopipra for five species formerly placed in Pipra and the erection of a new genus for Chloropipo holochlora.
