Pipra is a genus of birds in the manakin family Pipridae.

Taxonomy and species list

The genus Pipra was introduced by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1764.[1] The name was used by Ancient Greek authors such as Aristotle for a small bird but it is unclear which species it referred to.[2] The type species was designated as the crimson-hooded manakin in 1840 by the English zoologist George Robert Gray.[3][4]

The genus contains three species:[5]
