Taxonomy note: The velvety manakin was formerly considered to be conspecific with Lepidothrix coronata and together they were known under the common name "blue-crowned manakin". A study published in 2022 found that there were significant vocal and phylogenetic differences between the west of Andes taxa and those from the east of the Andes.[2] The velvety manakin was therefore promoted to species status and the "blue-crowned manakin" renamed to the blue-capped manakin.[1][3]<br />
