"Schiffornis" is a genus of bird in the Tityridae family. It has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae [ [http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCprop313.html Adopt the Family Tityridae] - South American Classification Committee (2007)] , where now placed by SACC. Instead of Schiffornis', they are sometimes referred to as mourners; a name they share with members of the genera "Laniocera", "Laniisoma" and "Rhytipterna".
