Piprites is a genus of bird currently placed in the family Tyrannidae. Prior to 1971, the genus was placed in the family Pipridae; [3] its designation was initially changed based on morphological evidence, [4] and genetic evidence confirmed its placement in 2009. [5] In 2013, it was proposed that Piprites was to be placed in the unique family Pipritinae. [1] The proposition was declined by the Comité de Clasificación de Sudamérica, a part of the American Ornithological Society, and the proposed family was changed to be a unique subfamily of the genus. [6] The genus is composed of three species native to the neotropical realm, with distributions ranging from the Caribbean coast of Guatemala, Central America, and southeastern Argentina. [7]
The generic name Piprites is derived from the Greek πιπρα (pipra), meaning "small bird" and originally associated with the great spotted woodpecker and the various Neotropical manakins. The suffix ῑ́της (-ī́tēs) is also Greek and denotes "resembling" or "similar to", denoting the genus' similarity to the manakins. [8]
The genus Piprites contains 3 species: [9]

Piprites chloris | Wing-barred piprites | Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. | |
Piprites griseiceps | Grey-headed piprites | Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. | |
Piprites pileata | Black-capped piprites | southeastern Brazil and northeastern Argentina |
