  Flycatcher, Tyrant
The tyrant flycatcher (family Tyrannidae) comprises a large, diverse New World family of birds.
Of the 539 known species of Tyrannidae, 18 regularly breed in Canada (12 called flycatchers, 2 kingbirds, 2 pewees, 2 phoebes); 12 others stray here.
The great crested flycatcher (Myiarchus crinitus) of eastern broad-leaved woodlands and olive-sided flycatcher (Contopus borealis) of coniferous forests across Canada are large compared with species of the genus Empidonax.

 Auk, The: Phylogeny of the tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) based on morphology and behavior
A Tyrannidae exclusive of the Cotingidae and Pipridae is monophyletic in some most-parsimonious trees, but not in others in which flatbills and tody-tyrants are basal to a clade containing Cotingidae, Pipridae, and the remaining tyrannid genera.
THE TYRANT FLYCATCHERS (Tyrannidae) are a large, primarily Neotropical family of suboscine passerine birds in the superfamily Tyrannoidea which also include the cotingas (Cotingidae) and manakins (Pipridae).
The relationships among the 90 to 100 genera of tyrant flycatchers were historically based on the shape of the bill, wing and tail, and color and pattern of plumage.

Flycatchers vary in color from drab to brilliant, as in the crested monarch and paradise flycatchers of Asia and Africa.
The New World family Tyrannidae (tyrant flycatchers), includes 365 species distributed over the Americas from the Canadian tree limit to Patagonia.
Flycatchers are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Passeres, families Muscicapidae and Tyrannidae.

The families that had the most species were the Psittacidae family with 8, Contingidae with 5 and Tyrannidae with 4 different species.
Species in the Contingidae family are usually found from the Southwest United States to Northern Argentina, with the greatest diversity being along the equator.
The Tyrannidae family is extremely diverse in their behavior as well as their appearance.

A NEW SPECIES OF FLYCATCHER (TYRANNIDAE: MYIOPAGIS) FROM EASTERN ECUADOR AND EASTERN PERU.
ABSTRACT.--A new species of New World flycatcher in the genus Myiopagis (Aves, Tyrannidae, Elaeniinae is described from Andean submontane forest of eastern Ecuador and eastern Peru.
The Tyrannidae, one of the World's largest avian families, harbors a vast array of confusingly similar species.

 Classification of birds of South America Part 08
Sibley and Ahlquist (1985, 1990) found that the Tyrannidae consisted of two major groups, the "Mionectidae" for Mionectes and several genera of small flycatchers placed in the subfamily Elaeniinae (sensu Traylor 1979a); Sibley and Ahlquist's data also indicated that the "Mionectidae" and Tyrannidae were not sister groups.
However, Chesser (2004) found the same deep division in the Tyrannidae, but found that the two groups were sisters.
Sirystes was formerly (e.g., Ridgway 1907) thought to be a cotinga, but Cory and Hellmayr (1927) placed it in the Tyrannidae, near Tyrannus; Warter's (1965) analysis of skull morphology indicated that it was close to Myiarchus, and this was further strengthened by analyses of syringeal morphology and behavior (Lanyon and Fitzpatrick 1983).

With the death of Ned K. Johnson two days ago, I propose that we honor his extensive contributions to the biology of the Tyrannidae by changing the English name of this species.
I am slightly concerned that he might have taken offense to our "overturning" his proposed name ("Lulu's"), but, as indicated above, "Lulu's" was already in my gun sights as perhaps my least favorite English name.
