DEFINITIONS

IODOPLEURA
(Tityridae; Ϯ Buff-throated Purpletuft I. pipra) Gr. ιοειδης ioeidēs  purple-coloured; πλευρα pleura  sides; "PARDALOTE MANAKIN. Pardalotus pipra, Less.  ...  Ce que distingue de prime abord cet oiseau, sont deux touffes de plumes latérales, formant sur chaque côté, vers le tiers supérieur de l'aile, un faisceau d'un violet pur et brillant  ...  Ses mœurs sont inconnues, et ses caractères mixtes porteraient sans doute à en faire un petit genre intermédiaire à ceux des pardalotes et des pipra, si le genre pardalote n'était pas lui-même peu caractérisé" (Lesson 1831); "IODOPLEURE, Iodopleura, Less.  ...  intermédiaire aux Manakins et aux Pardalotes.  Type: le PARDALOTE MANAKIN, Pardalotus pipra, Less., cent., pl. 26" (Lesson 1839).

PIPRA

Its association with the colourful Neotropical manakins seems to be arbitrary; "Manakin  ...  Pipra of Linnaeus  ...  a πιπρα, a certain bird, mentioned by Aristotle" (Pennant 1773); "Pipira:— N[ome]. commum a diversas aves da Fam. Tanagridae" (Garcia 1929) (the absence of an etymology indicates that this is a Brazilian Portuguese name, perhaps from an unknown indigenous source); “the name pipira is used indiscriminately for manakins and thraupines in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru” (Sick 1993); "PIPRA·   Aureola.  PIPRA nigra, capite pectoreque coccineis, remigibus antrorsum macula alba.  Syst.

pipra
● Gr. πιπρα pipra small bird, never properly identified, but here regarded as a spotted woodpecker (syn. Dendrocopos major kamtschaticus, syn. Dryobates minor kamtschatkensis).
● Genus Pipra Linnaeus, 1764, manakin. Lesson 1831, gave the name "Pardalote Manakin" to the Buff-throated Purpletuft, believing its generic characters to be intermediate between the pardalotes Pardalotus and the manakins (Iodopleura) (see Iodopleura).
● Gr. πιπρα pipra  small bird, never properly identified, mentioned by Aristotle and other authors; "100. PARUS.  ...  Pipra.  9. P. ater, capite supra albo. Mus. Ad. Fr. 2. p.  Avicula toto corpore nigra, cum vitta alba. Seb. mus. 2. p. 102. t. 96. f. 5.  Habitat in Indiis.  Statura Motacillæ, similis sequenti, sed rostrum paulo validius. Corpus totum nigrum. Caput totum album. Vibrissæ ad os, validiores quam in congeneribus." (Linnaeus 1758) (Pseudopipra).
