Ticking Doradito Pseudocolopteryx citreola has been split from
Warbling Doradito P. flaviventris following a decision by the
AOU South American Classification Committee
(http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~remsen/SACCprop420.html) based on
recommendations put forward by Abalos and Areta (2009), who
showed that these taxa are behaviourally and vocally distinct.
It is proposed that both species be listed as Least Concern on
the basis that they do not approach the thresholds for
Vulnerable under any of the IUCN criteria. Mapping by BirdLife
suggests that the breeding range of P. citreola is c.279,000 km2
and that the year-round range of P. flaviventris is c.1.25
million km2. These species have large ranges, and hence do not
approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size
criterion (Extent of Occurrence less than 20,000 km2 combined
with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat
extent/quality, or population size and a small number of
locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend of P.
flaviven
