The helmeted pygmy tyrant (Lophotriccus galeatus) is a species of
Tyrannidae.[2]
It is found in Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest.[3]
Taxonomy
The helmeted pygmy tyrant was described by the French polymath
monotypic.[8] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek lophos meaning "crest" with trikkos which is an unidentified small bird. In ornithology triccus is used to denote a tyrant flycatcher. The specific name galeatus is Latin for "helmeted".[9]
