"...a suitable monospecific tag for unirufus. Any offers/thoughts?"
Plum in 2001 said "the type Lathria Swainson 1837 is Muscicapa plumbea Lichtenstein = Muscicapa vociferans
Wied which is also the type species of the genus Lipaugus."
The type of Lathria is L. cinerea which is Ampelis cinerea Vieillot or La Cotinga cendre of LeVaillant. Which is a synonom of vociferans

Sclater 1888 and others put unirufa in Lathria but it is not a good match with only unirufus. So a new genus is required.
