Dysithamnus
''Dysithamnus'' is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. Species in this genus are known as antvireos. The genus ''Dysithamnus'' was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847. The name combines the Ancient Greek words ''duō'' "to plunge" and ''thamnos'' "bush". The type species was subsequently designated as the spot-breasted antvireo. The genus contains the following eight species: * Spot-breasted antvireo, ''Dysithamnus stictothorax'' * Plain antvireo, ''Dysithamnus mentalis'' * Streak-crowned antvireo, ''Dysithamnus striaticeps'' * Spot-crowned antvireo, ''Dysithamnus puncticeps'' * Rufous-backed antvireo, ''Dysithamnus xanthopterus'' * White-streaked antvireo, ''Dysithamnus leucostictus'' * Plumbeous antvireo, ''Dysithamnus plumbeus'' * Bicolored antvireo The bicolored antvireo (''Dysithamnus occidentalis'') is an insectivorous bird in the antbird family Thamnophilidae.

It is found on the west slope of the Andes from southwest Colombia to northwest Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. The bicolored antvireo was described by the American ornithologist Frank Chapman in 1923 who considered it a subspecies of the white-shouldered antshrike (''Thamnophilus aethiops'') and coined the trinomial name ''Thamnophilus aethiops occidentalis''. There are two subspecies: * ''D. o. occidentalis'' (Chapman, 1923) – southwest Colombia and north Ecuador * ''D. o. punctitectus'' Chapman, 1924 – east Ecuador References External linksXeno-canto: audio recordings of the bicolored antvireo |

Spot-breasted Antvireo
The spot-breasted antvireo (''Dysithamnus stictothorax'') is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in south east Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss.

Antbird
The antbirds are a large passerine bird family (biology), family, Thamnophilidae, found across subtropical and tropical Central and South America, from Mexico to Argentina. There are List of antbirds, more than 230 species, known variously as antshrikes, antwrens, antvireos, fire-eyes, bare-eyes and bushbirds. They are related to the antthrushes and antpittas (family Formicariidae), the tapaculos, the gnateaters and the Ovenbird (family), ovenbirds. Despite some species' common names, this family is not closely related to the wrens, vireos or shrikes. Antbirds are generally small birds with rounded wings and strong legs. They have mostly sombre grey, white, brown and rufous plumage, which is sexual dimorphism, sexually dimorphic in pattern and colouring. Some species communicate warnings to rivals by exposing white feather patches on their backs or shoulders. Most have heavy beak, bills, which in many species are hooked at the tip. Most species live in forests, although a few ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jean Cabanis
Jean Louis Cabanis (8 March 1816 – 20 February 1906) was a German ornithologist. Cabanis was born in Berlin to an old Huguenot family who had moved from France. Little is known of his early life. He studied at the University of Berlin from 1835 to 1839, and then travelled to North America, returning in 1841 with a large natural history collection. He was assistant and later director of the Natural History Museum of Berlin (which was at the time the Berlin University Museum), taking over from Martin Lichtenstein. He founded the ''Journal für Ornithologie'' in 1853, editing it for the next forty-one years, when he was succeeded by his son-in-law Anton Reichenow. He died in Friedrichshagen. A number of birds are named after him, including Cabanis's bunting ''Emberiza cabanisi'', Cabanis's spinetail ''Synallaxis cabanisi'', Azure-rumped tanager The azure-rumped tanager or Cabanis's tanager (''Poecilostreptus cabanisi'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae.
