kinglet calyptura
The kinglet calyptura (''Calyptura cristata'') is a small passerine bird. It is the only member of the genus ''Calyptura''. It has traditionally been considered a member of the family Cotingidae, but following the move of several species from this family to Tityridae—including the purpletufts which traditionally are considered allied to the kinglet calyptura—the family placement is unclear. It is therefore considered ''incertae sedis'' by SACC.〔Remsen, J. V., Jr., C. D. Cadena, A. Jaramillo, M. Nores, J. F. Pacheco, M. B. Robbins, T. S. Schulenberg, F. G. Stiles, D. F. Stotz, & K. J. Zimmer. 2007. (''A classification of the bird species of South America.'' ) American Ornithologists' Union. Accessed 12 December 2007.〕
It is endemic to Atlantic forest in south-eastern Brazil. For a long time this species was feared to be extinct, as it went unrecorded during the 20th century until two birds were observed in Serra dos Órgãos on several days in October 1996. Since these sightings, there have not been any confirmed records, although at least one recent—but unconfirmed—record exists from near Ubatuba. Consequently, it is considered Critically Endangered by BirdLife International.
==Taxonomy==
The kinglet calyptura was initially described as ''Pardalotus cristatus'' by Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in 1818 in the ''Nouveau Dictionnaire d'Histoire Naturelle'' on the basis of a specimen collected near Rio de Janeiro. It was later placed in the monotypic genus ''Calyptura'', whose name comes from the Ancient Greek words ''καλύπτω'' "to cover", and ''ούρά'' "tail", a reference to the kinglet calyptura's very short tail which hardly projects beyond the species' tail-coverts. The specific name ''cristata'' comes from the Latin word "cristatus" ''crested''.
Another common name for the species is Kinglet Cotinga.
