Epinecrophylla
The ''stipplethroats'' are a South and Central American genus of passerine birds in the antbird family Thamnophilidae. They were previously included in the genus ''Myrmotherula'' as the "stipple-throated group". Characteristics Molecular studies show that the genus ''Myrmotherula'' as then defined was polyphyletic. The stipple-throated members form a clade that is not a sister clade to any of the remaining members, and the genus ''Epinecrophylla'' has been erected to accommodate them. The stipple-throated species have a black and white (or buffy-white) stippled throat in one or both of the sexes. They also have a relatively long, plain-coloured tail. That this clade is distinct from the remaining members of the ''Myrmotherula'' is reinforced by differences in song, foraging behaviour and nest-building. Ecology Members of the genus ''Epinecrophylla'' tend to specialise in extracting insects and spiders from dangling clusters of dead leaves, foraging in this way for more than 75% ...

Ornate Stipplethroat
The ornate stipplethroat (''Epinecrophylla ornata''), formerly called the ornate antwren, is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Taxonomy and systematics The ornate stipplethroat was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1853 and given the binomial name ''Formicivora ornata''. It was subsequently placed in genus ''Myrmotherula''. Based on genetic and vocal studies it and seven other members of that genus were moved to genus ''Epinecrophylla'' created in 2006. All were eventually named "stipplethroats" to highlight a common feature and to set them apart from ''Myrmotherula'' antwrens.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, G.

Rufous-backed Stipplethroat
The rufous-backed stipplethroat (''Epinecrophylla haematonota''), also called the rufous-backed antwren or the stipple-throated antwren, is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in southeastern Colombia and southern Venezuela to eastern Ecuador, northern and eastern Peru and western Brazil in its natural habitat of subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Taxonomy The rufous-backed stipplethroat was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1857 and given the binomial name ''Formicivora haematonota''. It was formerly placed in the genus ''Myrmotherula''. In 2014, the species name was changed from the nominate subspecies of the rufous-backed stipplethroat when two other former subspecies were reclassified as the Negro stipple-throated antwren and Yasuni antwren, but vocalizations were found to be identical and morphological differences slight (Isler and Whitney 2018), so they were returned to subspecies status.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Passerine
A passerine () is any bird of the order Passeriformes (; from Latin 'sparrow' and '-shaped'), which includes more than half of all bird species. Sometimes known as perching birds, passerines are distinguished from other orders of birds by the arrangement of their toes (three pointing forward and one back), which facilitates perching. With more than 140 families and some 6,500 identified species, Passeriformes is the largest clade of birds and among the most diverse clades of terrestrial vertebrates, representing 60% of birds.Ericson, P.G.P. et al. (2003Evolution, biogeography, and patterns of diversification in passerine birds ''J. Avian Biol'', 34:3–15.Selvatti, A.P. et al. (2015"A Paleogene origin for crown passerines and the diversification of the Oscines in the New World" ''Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution'', 88:1–15.

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] |
