Pogonotriccus
''Pogonotriccus'' is a genus of small passerine birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. They are found in wooded habitats of Central America, Central and South America. Taxonomy The genus was erected by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis and Ferdinand Heine in 1859 with the southern bristle tyrant (''Pogonotriccus eximius'') as the type species. The genus has sometimes been merged into the genus ''Phylloscartes''. In 2004 John W. Fitzpatrick, John Fitzpatrick in the ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' chose to treat ''Pogonotriccus'' as a separate genus based on the slight differences in behaviour of the birds in the two genera. Frank Gill (ornithologist), Frank Gill and David Donsker then also recognised ''Pogonotriccus'' in the list of bird species that they maintain on behalf of the International Ornithological Committee. The evidence for splitting the genus is weak: a 2009 molecular phylogenetic study that included one species from ''Pogonotriccus'' and three ...

Tyrannidae
The tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) are a family of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America. They are considered the largest family of birds known to exist in the world, with more than 400 species. They are the most diverse avian family in every country in the Americas, except for the United States and Canada. The members vary greatly in shape, patterns, size and colors. Some tyrant flycatchers may superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, which they are named after but are not closely related to. They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines), which do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of most other songbirds.del Hoyo, J. Elliott, A. & Christie, D. (editors).

Phylloscartes Eximius - Southern Bristle-tyrant
''Phylloscartes'' is a genus of small birds in the family Tyrannidae. They are found in wooded habitats of Central and South America. They mainly feed on small arthropods, and most commonly take part in mixed species flocks. The mottled-cheeked tyrannulet is among the commonest birds in its range, but several other species are rare and threatened. Their plumage is predominantly green, yellow, white and grey, and many have contrasting facial patterns and wing-bars. They have thin, pointed bills, and relatively long tails. Most frequently cock their tail, perch relatively horizontally and are very active. The genus ''Pogonotriccus'' has usually been merged into ''Phylloscartes''. In 2004 John Fitzpatrick in the ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' chose to treat ''Pogonotriccus'' as a separate genus based on the slight differences in behaviour of the birds in the two genera.
