 Classification of birds of South America Part 08
Called "Cinnamon Tyrant-Manakin" in Sibley and Monroe (1990), "Cinnamon Tyrant" in Mobley and Prum (1995) and Fitzpatrick (2004), and "Cinnamon Neopipo" in Ridgely and Greenfield (2001) and Hilty (2003), thus perhaps setting a new temporal record for lack of stability in an English name.
Traylor (1979, 1982) identified signatus and cabanisi as sister taxa, transferred signatus to Knipolegus, and considered them conspecific, but noted that they might also be considered separate species, as also noted by Ridgely and Tudor (1994).
Sibley and Monroe (1990) considered them conspecific and coined the name "Andean Tyrant" for the composite species, and this was followed by Ridgely and Tudor (1994) and Fitzpatrick (2004); Fjeldså and Krabbe (1990) also considered them conspecific but used "Plumbeous Tyrant," but see Ridgely and Tudor (1994) for reasons not to use that English name.
