Rapid diversification limits our ability to resolve evolutionary relationships and examine diversification history, as in the case of the Neotropical cotingas. Here we present an analysis with complete taxon sampling for the cotinga genera Lipaugus and Tijuca, which include some of the most range-restricted (e.g., T. condita) and also the most widespread and familiar (e.g., L. vociferans) forest birds in the Neotropics. We used two datasets: (1) Sanger sequencing data sampled from eight loci in 34 individuals across all described taxa and (2) sequence capture data linked to 1,079 ultraconserved elements and conserved exons sampled from one or two individuals per species. Phylogenies estimated from the Sanger sequencing data failed to resolve three nodes, but the sequence capture data produced a well-supported tree. Lipaugus and Tijuca formed a single, highly supported clade, but Tijuca species were not sister and were embedded within Lipaugus. A dated phylogeny confirmed Lipaugus and Tijuca diversified rapidly in the Miocene. Our study provides a detailed evolutionary hypothesis for Lipaugus and Tijuca and demonstrates that increasing genomic sampling can prove instrumental in resolving the evolutionary history of recent radiations.
