Myrmelastes
''Myrmelastes'' is a genus of passerine birds in the family Thamnophilidae. Most of these species were previously placed in the genus ''Schistocichla''. The genus formerly included only three species, but several taxa previously considered subspecies of the spot-winged antbird have been elevated to species status. The genus contains eight species: * Plumbeous antbird (''Myrmelastes hyperythrus'') * Slate-colored antbird (''Myrmelastes schistaceus'') * Spot-winged antbird (''Myrmelastes leucostigma'') * Humaita antbird (''Myrmelastes humaythae'') * Brownish-headed antbird (''Myrmelastes brunneiceps'') * Rufous-faced antbird (''Myrmelastes rufifacies'') * Roraiman antbird (''Myrmelastes saturatus'') * Caura antbird (''Myrmelastes caurensis'') These species were formerly placed in the genus ''Schistocichla'' which had been erected by the American ornithologist W.E. Clyde Todd in 1927 with spot-winged antbird as the type species. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
