17. Thlypopsis pyrrhocoma, new name (Fig. 3)

Type. Pyrrhocoma ruficeps Strickland, 1844

Included taxa. Monotypic; includes only Pyrrhocoma ruficeps. No subspecies of this species are recognized.

Etymology. The name is formed from the Greek πύῤῥος, “flame-colored” or “red,” as applied to hair, and the Greek κόΜη, “hair of the head,” in allusion to the male’s rufous head. The name is to be construed as a noun in apposition. We intend adoption of the former generic name as the new specific epithet to communicate past taxonomic connections.
