Conopophaga Melanops - Black-cheeked Gnateater (male); Restinga De Bertioga State Park, São Paulo,
''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 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 ten 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 they do ...

Bamboo
Bamboos are a diverse group of mostly evergreen perennial plant, perennial flowering plants making up the subfamily (biology), subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae. Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family, in the case of ''Dendrocalamus sinicus'' having individual stalks (Culm (botany), culms) reaching a length of , up to in thickness and a weight of up to . The internodes of bamboos can also be of great length. ''Kinabaluchloa, Kinabaluchloa wrayi'' has internodes up to in length. and ''Arthrostylidium schomburgkii'' has internodes up to in length, exceeded in length only by Cyperus papyrus, papyrus. By contrast, the stalks of the tiny bamboo Raddiella, ''Raddiella vanessiae'' of the savannas of French Guiana measure only in length by about in width. The origin of the word "bamboo" is uncertain, but it most likely comes from the Dutch language, Dutch or Portuguese language, Portuguese language, which originally borrowed it from Malay langua ...

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. They also differ slightly in appearance. Ceará gnateat ...
