The scarlet-breasted fruiteater (''Pipreola frontalis'') is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is found in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. ==Taxonomy and systematics== First described by British ornithologist Philip Sclater in 1858,〔 the scarlet-breasted fruiteater is one of eleven species in the genus ''Pipreola''.〔 Its type specimen is held at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, in Philadelphia.〔 The species is closely related to the fiery-throated fruiteater, but is found at higher elevations.〔 There are two subspecies, which some taxonomists think represent two distinct species.〔 *''P. f. frontalis'' occurs from central Peru into western Bolivia. *''P. f. squamipectus'' occurs from northern Ecuador into northwestern Peru. First described by Frank Chapman in 1925,〔 it is smaller and less colorful than the nominate subspecies. The genus name given to the fruiteaters, ''Pipreola'', is a diminutive of ''Pipra'', which is the genus name Carl Linnaeus gave to the similarly shaped manakins.〔Jobling, p. 308.〕 The specific name ''frontalis'' is a Modern Latin word meaning "fronted" or "browed".〔Jobling, p. 165.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scarlet-breasted fruiteater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
