The genus Ceratopipra was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854 with the scarlet-horned manakin as the type species.[1][2] The name Ceratopipra combines the Ancient Greek κερας keras, κερατος keratos "horn" with the genus Pipra introduced by Carl Linnaeus in 1764.[3]
The genus contains the five species:[4]
Image | Scientific name | Common Name | Distribution |

![]() | Ceratopipra mentalis | Red-capped manakin | Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru and Panama. |

![]() | Ceratopipra rubrocapilla | Red-headed manakin | Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. |

These species were previously included in the genus Pipra, but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that this placement renders Pipra non-monophyletic.[5][6][7]
