Poecilotriccus
Sign in to savePoecilotriccus is a genus of small flycatchers in the family Tyrannidae. Except for the recently described Johnson's tody-flycatcher, all have, at one point or another, been included in the genus Todirostrum. Some species have been known as tody-tyrants instead of tody-flycatchers. Most species are found in South America, but a single species, the slate-headed tody-flycatcher, is also found in Central America. The black-chested tyrant may also belong in this genus, but most place it in the monotypic genus Taeniotriccus.

Poecilotriccus is a genus of small flycatchers in the family Tyrannidae. Except for the recently described Johnson's tody-flycatcher, all have, at one point or another, been included in the genus Todirostrum. Some species have been known as tody-tyrants instead of tody-flycatchers. Most species are found in South America, but a single species, the slate-headed tody-flycatcher, is also found in Central America. The black-chested tyrant may also belong in this genus, but most place it in the monotypic genus Taeniotriccus.
==Taxonomy== The genus Poecilotriccus was introduced in 1884 by the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch to accommodate a single new species, Poecilotriccus lenzi. This is now considered to be a junior synonym of Todirhamphus ruficeps Kaup, 1852, the rufous-crowned tody-flycatcher and is the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek poikilos meaning "pied" or "spotted" with -ouros meaning "-tailed".
