Schiffornis is especially puzzling, as an analysis by Prum of 19 characters, mostly anatomical, suggested that it is a member of a monophyletic assemblage of six superficially very diverse genera currently divided among the Pipridae, the Cotingidae and the Tyrannidae.
The fourth of the well-known species in the genus, the Blue Manakin (Chiroxiphia caudata) from eastern South America, is different again; its duetting calls, irregularly overlapping, consist of phrases of sharply ascending and descending pitch, and sound to the human ear like a confused gabbling.
Several members of the Pipridae produce mechanical sounds during a rapid, stereotyped fly-in to the display perch.

 A Hybrid Manakin (Pipra) from Roraima, Brazil, and a Phylogenetic Perspective on Hybridization in the Pipridae
As a result, within Pipridae, the pattern of known hybridization (3 intergeneric hybrids and 2 hybrids within superspecies) remains a more extreme version of that noted by Parkes (1961, 1978) for the family Parulidae, where the vast majority of hybrids are either inter- generic or among members of superspecies.
Sibley (1957) suggested that the genera of Pipridae were probably oversplit owing to the reliance on male secondary sexual characters to demarcate genera, so that the parents of intergeneric hybrids may not necessarily be distantly related.
Bledsoe (1988) has argued that the lack of a well-corroborated phylogenetic hypothesis for the Parulidae and the strong probability that various genera, especially Den- droica and Vermivora, are not monophyletic makes interpretation of the pattern of hybrid- ization in that family impossible.

 MANAKIN - LoveToKnow Article on MANAKIN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The manakin~ are peculiar to the Neotropical Region and have many of the habits of the titmouse family (Paridae), living in deep forests, associating in small bands, and keeping continually in motion, but feeding almost wholly on the large soft berries of the different kinds of Melasloma.
The Pipridae, however, have no close affinity with the Paridae,1 but belong to another great division of the order Passeres, the Clamatores group of the Anisomyodae.
The tail, in most species very short, has in others the middle feathers much elongated, and in one of the outer rectrices are attenuated and produced into threads.

Manakins are found throughout the forested areas of Central and South America, where they feed on a diet of small fruits picked on the wing, and occasional insects.

 THOMAS B
The family Pipridae represents an ideal model group to investigate the cost and benefits to males who aggregate at leks because manakins show a gradient of social behavior.
Coordinated/cooperative displays may serve two functions: competition as a means for establishing dominance hierarchies and or cooperation for the attraction of females to the group (Prum 1994).

 Remove "Schiffornis group" from Cotingidae
Although they concluded that the Schiffornis group should be included as a subfamily of the Cotingidae, the node supporting this (vs. relationship to Pipridae or Piprites) has essentially no support in their analysis, and no Tyrannidae were included in the analysis.
Given the two more recent studies above and given that Rick's previous morphological studies did not find strong support for inclusion of these genera in the Cotingidae, my conclusion is that we essentially have no data to support the current classification and plenty of contrary data.
