Conopophaga
''Conopophaga'' is a genus of birds in the gnateater family. Its members are found in forest and woodland in South America. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Conopophaga'' was introduced in 1816 by the French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''kōnōps'' meaning "gnat" with ''-phagos'' meaning "-eating". The type species was subsequently designated as the chestnut-belted gnateater by George Robert Gray in 1840. Peters incorrectly gives the page in Gray 1840 as 41. The genus now contains nine species, all with "gnateater" in their common names. Distribution and habitat Gnateaters are birds found in the undergrowth of forest, woodland, and bamboo stands, with most species in the Amazon Basin, the Atlantic Forest, and the East Andean slopes. All are associated with dense thickets. While they are always found near the ground, seldom rising more than 1.5 m up, they also seldom travel or spend much time on the ground itself (though ...

Gnateater
The gnateaters are a bird family, Conopophagidae, consisting of ten small passerine species in two genera, which occur in South and Central America. The family was formerly restricted to the gnateater genus ''Conopophaga''; analysis of mtDNA cytochrome ''b'' and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 sequences (Rice 2005a,b) indicates that the "antpittas" of the genus ''Pittasoma'' also belong in this family. The association between this genus and ''Conopophaga'' is also supported by traits in their natural history, morphology, and vocalizations (Rice, 2005a). The members of this family are very closely related to the antbirds and less closely to the antpittas and tapaculos. Due to their remote and dim habitat, gnateaters are a little-studied and poorly known family of birds, though they are often sought after by birdwatchers. Description They are round, short-tailed, and long-legged birds, about 12–19 cm (5–7½ inches) in length, with ''Pittasoma'' being larger than ''Conopop ...

Ceará Gnateater
The Ceará gnateater or Caatinga gnateater (''Conopophaga cearae'') is a passerine bird of the gnateater family, Conopophagidae. It is found in forest understory and bushes in northeastern Brazil. The Ceara gnateater is locally called “''cupadente''”, or “spitter” in Portuguese due to the sound it produces when it vocalizes. Appearance They are about 11.5 to 14 cm (4.5 to 5.5 in) long. The Ceará gnateater used to be considered a subspecies of the rufous gnateater (''Conopophaga lineata),'' but recent evidence shows they are distinct species.Ceara Gnateater (''Conopophaga cearae''), In Neotropical Birds Online (, Editors). Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY, USA. retrieved from Neotropical Birds Online: https://neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/Species-Account/nb/species/rufgna2 Although there are no apparent differences in the vocalizations between these species, genetic analysis shows the distinction between the two.

Black-cheeked Gnateater
The black-cheeked gnateater (''Conopophaga melanops'') is a species of bird in the family Conopophagidae endemic to Brazil. The male is distinguished by its orange crown, black face and white throat, while the female has brown plumage. Taxonomy French naturalist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot described the black-cheeked gnateater in 1818, giving it the species name ''melanops'' from the Ancient Greek words ''melas'' "black" and ''ops'' "face". The black-cheeked gnateater has three subspecies: *''C. m. perspicillata'' ( Lichtenstein, MHK, 1823) - Bahia and Sergipe (eastern Brazil) *''C. m. melanops'' (Vieillot, 1818) - southeastern Brazil *''C. m. nigrifrons'' Pinto, 1954 - Paraíba to Alagoas (eastern Brazil) Description Measuring 11.5 cm (4.5 in), the black-cheeked gnateater is a small round bird with a short tail. It exhibits sexual dimorphism, as the male has distinctive coloured plumage and the female is a more overall brown in color. The male has a black face and che ...

Chestnut-belted Gnateater
The chestnut-belted gnateater (''Conopophaga aurita'') is a species of bird in the family Conopophagidae, the gnateaters. It is found in the Amazon Basin of northern Brazil, southern Colombia and eastern Peru and Ecuador; also the Guianan countries of Guyana, Suriname and eastern French Guiana. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forest. Taxonomy The chestnut-belted gnateater was formally described in 1789 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus's ''Systema Naturae''. He placed it with the thrushes in the genus '' Turdus'' and coined the binomial name ''Turdus auritus''. Gmelin based his description on "Le fourmilier à oreilles blanches" that had been described and illustrated in 1778 by French polymath Comte de Buffon in his ''Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux''. Buffon had access to both male and female specimens that had been collected in Cayenne. The chestnut-belted gnateater is now placed with eight oth ...
