Herpsilochmus
''Herpsilochmus'' is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family (Thamnophilidae). They are found in forest, woodland and shrub in South America, although a single species the rufous-winged antwren (''H. rufimarginatus'') also occurs in Panama. All are relatively small antbirds that are sexually dichromatic. In most (but not all) species males are essentially light grey with a black crown and black-and-white wings, while females are more buff or rufous with black-and-white crown. The genus ''Herpsilochmus'' was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847. The name of genus combines the Ancient Greek words ''herpō'' "to creep about" and ''lokhmē'' "thicket" or "copse". The type species is the Bahia antwren. The genus contains 18 species: * Ash-throated antwren, ''Herpsilochmus parkeri'' * Creamy-bellied antwren, ''Herpsilochmus motacilloides'' * Predicted antwren, ''Herpsilochmus praedictus'' * Aripuana antwren, ''Herpsilochmus stotzi'' ...

Ancient Antwren
The ancient antwren (''Herpsilochmus gentryi'') is a species of tropical bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is primarily found in ''terra firme'' forests of northern Peru and southeastern Ecuador. This species was described in 1998 and named after the American botanist Alwyn Gentry. Habitat loss poses the greatest threat to this species. Taxonomy and systematics The ancient antwren was described in 1998 by Bret M. Whitney and Jose Alvarez Alonso. The holotype was collected along the Rio Tigre in the Department of Loreto, Peru. The specific epithet, ''gentryi'', refers to the American botanist Alwyn Gentry. It is closely related to the Todd's Antwren, to which it may be a sister species. This species is monotypic, with no known subspecies. Description The ancient antwren is small passerine, with a total length of 10-11 centimeters (4 in) and weight of 10.2-11 grams. Sexual dimorphism is present in this species, but not as apparent when compared to other members of this ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rufous-margined Antwren
The rufous-margined antwren (''Herpsilochmus rufimarginatus'') is an insectivorous bird in the antbird family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. The rufous-margined antwren was described by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1822 and given the binomial name ''Myiothera rufimarginatus''. It is now placed in the genus ''Herpsilochmus'' which was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847. The specific epithet ''rufimarginatus'' is from the Latin ''rufus'' "rufous" and ''marginatus'' "marginned" or "bordered". The rufous-margined antwren (''Herpsilochmus frater'') was formerly treated as a subspecies of the rusty-winged antwren, collectively called the rufous-winged antwren.

Predicted Antwren
The predicted antwren (''Herpsilochmus praedictus'') is an insectivorous bird in the antbird family Thamnophilidae. The predicted antwren was first described in 2013.

It is found in Amazonian Brazil Brazil ( pt, Brasil; ), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: ), is the largest country in both South America and Latin America.
