White-throated manakin
species of bird
The white-throated manakin (Corapipo gutturalis) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela.
Taxonomy and systematics
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. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognized by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. 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. One of these was the white-throated manakin. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Pipra gutturalis and cited Brisson's work. The specific name gutturalis is Medieval Latin for "of the thoat". This species is now placed in the genus Corapipo that was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854.

Why this record matters
“White-throated manakin” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, White-throated, manakin and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 11, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1304318. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1760, 1766 and 1854.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
