NYCTIPROGNE VIELLIARDI View in CoL (LENCIONI- NETO, 1994)

Definition

Previously Chordeiles vielliardi . It is moved from Chordeiles into Nyctiprogne . It is the sister species of N. leucopyga Spix, 1825 .

Diagnosis

Similar to N. leucopyga , but lacks white tail markings. Very few specimens are known, hence the information on morphology is scarce.

Comments

Genetic evidence in this study shows that C. vielliardi is not related to other species in Chordeiles , but belongs in Nyctiprogne ( Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ), as suggested by Cleere & Nurney (1998).
