Tyranneutes
Genus of birds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tyranneutes is a genus of South American birds in the family Pipridae. Both sexes somewhat resemble females of other manakins, but are even smaller. They are native to the humid forests in the Amazon and the Guianas. The two species are entirely allopatric (their distributions separated by major rivers).
