Formicivora Grantsaui
''Formicivora'' is a genus of insectivorous birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. These relatively small, long-tailed antbirds are strongly sexually dichromatic. They are found in semi-open habitats in woodland and shrub in South America. They have several rows of white spots on the wings. Males are usually darker below than they are above, and sometimes have a fringe of white on the side. The genus ''Formicivora'' was introduced by the English naturalist William Swainson in 1824. The type species is the southern white-fringed antwren. The name of the genus ''Formicivora'' combines the Latin words ''formica'' for "ant" and ''-vorus'' "eating" from ''vorare'' "to devour". The Sincorá antwren was first described in 2007. While initially placed in its own genus ''Stymphalornis'', the marsh antwren belongs in ''Formicivora''. In contrast, the black-hooded antwren is not closely related to other ''Formicivora'' and may be better placed in its own genus. There are nine sp ...

Southern White-fringed Antwren
The southern white-fringed antwren (''Formicivora grisea'') is an insectivorous bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. Taxonomy and systematics The southern white-fringed antwren was described by the French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in his ''Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux'' in 1775 from a specimen collected in Cayenne, French Guiana. The bird was also illustrated in a hand-colored plate engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet in the ''Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle'' which was produced under the supervision of Edme-Louis Daubenton to accompany Buffon's text. Neither the plate caption nor Buffon's description included a scientific name but in 1783 the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert coined the binomial name ''Turdus griseus'' in his catalogue of the ''Planches Enluminées''. The southern white-fringed antwren is now placed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Narrow-billed Antwren
The narrow-billed antwren (''Formicivora iheringi'') is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to eastern Brazil. Taxonomy and systematics The narrow-billed antwren is monotypic. The narrow-billed antwren is not closely related to other members of genus ''Formicivora''. In the early twentieth century some authors placed it in the monotypic genus ''Neorhopias''. More recent studies have revived that suggestion.Gonzaga, L.P. (2001).

Marsh Antwren
The marsh antwren (''Formicivora acutirostris''), also known as the Paraná antwren, is an insectivorous bird in the antbird family Thamnophilidae. It is endemic to marshes and swamps in the Brazilian states of Paraná and Santa Catarina. It was first described in 1995. Although initially placed in its own genus ''Stymphalornis'', a subsequently molecular phylogenetic study has shown that the marsh antwren is closely related to species in the genus '' Formicivora''. It is threatened by habitat loss and currently considered Endangered by BirdLife International. Two subspecies are recognised: * ''F. a. acutirostris'' Bornschein, Reinert & Teixera, 1995 – Paraná to northeast Rio Grande do Sul * ''F. a. paludicola'' (Buzzetti et al., 2013) – east São Paulo The subspecies ''F. a. paludicola'' was discovered near São Paulo and described in 2013 as a new species in the genus ''Formicivora''. This subspecies has been found in fifteen small, isolated areas in the east of the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Northern White-fringed Antwren
The northern white-fringed antwren (''Formicivora intermedia'') is an insectivorous bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in mainland Colombia and Venezuela, on the Pearl Islands of Panama, and on the islands of Tobago and Margarita. Taxonomy and systematics The German ornithologist Jean Cabanis described the northern white-fringed antwren in 1847 and coined its current binomial name ''Formicivora intermedia''. It and what is now the southern white-fringed antwren (''F. grisea'') were later considered conspecific as the white-fringed antwren, which retained the binomial ''F. grisea''. Worldwide taxonomic systems separated them again based primarily on their very different vocalizations detailed in a 2016 publication, though the Clements taxonomy did not do so until 2023.HBW and BirdLife International (2023).
