Taxonomy

[edit]
From Planches enluminées d'histoire naturelle (1765)

In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the white-throated manakin in his Ornithologie. He used the French name Le manakin à gorge blanche and the Latin Manacus gutture albo.[2] Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.[3] When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson.[3] One of these was the white-throated manakin. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Pipra gutturalis and cited Brisson's work.[4] The specific name gutturalis is Medieval Latin for "of the thoat".[5] This species is now placed in the genus Corapipo that was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854.[6] The white-throated manakin is monotypic.[7]
