Moustached Antwren
The moustached antwren (''Myrmotherula ignota'') is a species of small Neotropical bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Peru. Taxonomy and systematics The moustached antwren has two subspecies, the nominate ''M. i. ignota'' ( Griscom, 1929) and ''M. i. obscura'' ( Zimmer, JT, 1932). ''M. i. ignota'' was originally treated as a subspecies of the pygmy antwren (''M. brachyura'') and later by some authors as a separate species, "Griscom's antwren". What is now ''M. i. obscura'' was treated as a monotypic species, the "short-billed antwren". Taxonomists now follow a 2003 publication that combined the two as the moustached antwren, which because of the principle of priority has the binomial ''Myrmotherula ignota''.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J.
