  • A New Tapaculo Related to Scytalopus Rodriguezi from Serranía De Los Yariguíes, Colombia
    Thomas M. Donegan et al. 256 Bull. B.O.C. 2013 133(4) A new tapaculo related to Scytalopus rodriguezi from Serranía de los Yariguíes, Colombia by Thomas M. Donegan, Jorge E. Avendaño & Frank Lambert Received 15 February 2013 Summary.―Upper Magdalena Tapaculo Scytalopus rodriguezi was described (in 2005) as restricted to the headwaters of the Magdalena Valley in dpto. Huila, Colombia. Here we describe a new but related taxon from the Serranía de los Yariguíes, dpto. Santander, Colombia, c.580 km to the north, which difers in its darker dorsal coloration, shorter tail, smaller body, lower mass and lower pitched song with reduced frequency bandwidth in its notes. Scytalopus tapaculos are small, primarily montane suboscines that inhabit the understorey of Neotropical forests. Species limits within the genus are problematic because of the morphological homogeneity of diferent populations, which masks a rich diversity, only detected in recent decades via vocal and genetic studies. Since vocalisations are believed to be innate and distinctive among genetically divergent Scytalopus species, and vocal diferentiation tracks molecular diferentiation more so than morphology (Arctander & Fjeldså 1994), the number of recognised species of Scytalopus has increased dramatically from ten in the mid 1990s to more than 40 today (Krabbe & Schulenberg 1997; see also, e.g., Krabbe & Schulenberg 2003, Krabbe & Cadena 2010, Hosner et al. 2013). Four new Scytalopus taxa have been described from Colombia since the late 1990s: Chocó Tapaculo S. chocoensis (Krabbe & Schulenberg 1997), Upper Magdalena Tapaculo S. rodriguezi (Krabbe et al. 2005), Stiles’ Tapaculo S. stilesi (Cuervo et al. 2005) and a subspecies of Pale-bellied Tapaculo S.

    24 Ornitología Colombiana No.6 (2008):24-65 NOTES ON TAPACULOS (PASSERIFORMES: RHINOCRYPTIDAE) OF THE EASTERN ANDES OF COLOMBIA AND THE VENEZUELAN ANDES, WITH A NEW SUBSPECIES OF SCYTALOPUS GRISEICOLLIS FROM COLOMBIA Notas sobre tapaculos (Passeriformes: Rhinocryptidae) de la Cordillera Oriental de Colombia y los Andes venezolanos, con una nueva subespecie de Scytalopus griseicollis de Colombia Thomas M. Donegan ProAves Foundation, Caversham, Reading, UK. [email protected], [email protected] Jorge Enrique Avendaño-C. 1 Escuela de Biología, Universidad Industrial de Santander, Bucaramanga, Colombia [email protected] ABSTRACT We analysed biometrics, plumage and voice and inspected specimens to study the taxonomy of various high elevation tapaculos Scytalopus of the Eastern Andes of Colombia and the Mérida Andes of Venezuela. In light of a lack of any diagnostic vocal, plumage or biometric character, we propose treating S. infasciatus as a subjective junior synonym of S. griseicollis . S. fuscicauda and S. meridanus are indistinguishable by morphology, but we propose treating S. fuscicauda as a subspecies of S. meridanus in light of small observed differences in introductions to songs, which require further investigation. As the names were published contemporaneously, we propose priority for S. meridanus over S. fuscicauda . S. meridanus and S. griseicollis as redefined are each diagnosable vocally, supporting species rank for both of them. S. griseicollis gilesi subsp. nov. is described from the Yariguíes mountains. The new subspecies differs from S. griseicollis in its darker plumage, lower acoustic frequency scolds and longer tail. The recently discovered Eastern Andes population of S. spillmanni differs from Ecuadorian populations in its shorter tarsus length and slower song, meeting the requirements for some, but not all, subspecies concepts.

    Brazil North Eastern Mega Birding 27th September to 18th October 2019 (22 days) Trip Report Lear’s Macaws by Stephan Lorenz Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Stephan Lorenz Trip Report – RBL Brazil – North Eastern Mega Birding 2019 2 Tour Summary Northeast Brazil offers a combination of rare endemics and endangered specialty birds unparalleled anywhere in South America. In addition, this true to the term mega tour took us through some of the most spectacular scenery in the country, from the stark caatinga and inselbergs in the north through the rugged cliffs of the Chapada Diamantina and finally to the lush Atlantic rainforest in the coastal areas of Bahia. In between, we birded in marshy grasslands, thorn scrub, intact cerrado, remnant forests on remote hill tops, montane forest, and finally lush lowland rain forest. Our 5600- kilometre journey offered one the grandest birding adventures anywhere. The birds were even more spectacular than the landscape with the top four sightings as chosen by participants offering a good overview of Brazil’s diversity: 1. Lear's Macaw, 2. Giant Snipe, 3. Blue-eyed Ground Dove, and 4. Banded Cotinga with honorable mentions Giant Snipe by Stephan Lorenz given to Black-and-white Hawk Eagle, Ringed Woodpecker, Hook-billed Hermit, Horned Sungem, Hyacinth Visorbearer, Toco Toucan, Henna-capped Foliage-gleaner, Cipo Canastero, White-bibbed Antbird, White-browed Antpitta, and Blue Manakin. Overall, we recorded 106 Brazilian endemics and 503 species!

  • On the Origin and Evolution of Nest Building by Passerine Birds’

COLLIAS Departmentof Biology, Universityof California, Los Angeles, CA 90024-1606 Abstract. The object of this review is to relate nest-buildingbehavior to the origin and early evolution of passerinebirds (Order Passeriformes).I present evidence for the hypoth- esis that the combinationof small body size and the ability to place a constructednest where the bird chooses,helped make possiblea vast amountof adaptiveradiation. A great diversity of potential habitats especially accessibleto small birds was created in the late Tertiary by global climatic changes and by the continuing great evolutionary expansion of flowering plants and insects.Cavity or hole nests(in ground or tree), open-cupnests (outside of holes), and domed nests (with a constructedroof) were all present very early in evolution of the Passeriformes,as indicated by the presenceof all three of these basic nest types among the most primitive families of living passerinebirds. Secondary specializationsof these basic nest types are illustratedin the largest and most successfulfamilies of suboscinebirds. Nest site and nest form and structureoften help characterizethe genus, as is exemplified in the suboscinesby the ovenbirds(Furnariidae), a large family that builds among the most diverse nests of any family of birds. The domed nest is much more common among passerinesthan in non-passerines,and it is especially frequent among the very smallestpasserine birds the world over.

  • The Correct Use of the Name Scytalopus Speluncae (Ménétriés, 1835), and the Description of a New Species of Brazilian Tapaculo (Aves: Passeriformes: Rhinocryptidae)

Abstract Scytalopus speluncae was described from a specimen taken at São João del Rei, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Ménétriés described it as having the throat and the central breast evidently whitish, but since then this name has been rather surprisingly attributed to the uniformly slate gray Mouse-colored Tapaculo of the eastern coastal Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Contrary to previous findings, our analysis of the holotype, two new specimens from the type locality (topotypes) and original description of Scytalopus speluncae indicates that this name must be applied to the pale gray form with rufous- barred thighs that is found in Minas Gerais. This species is apparently very common in São João del Rei. This paper redescribes Scytalopus speluncae, correcting this name application, and describing, as a new species, populations from the Serra do Mar and vicinity, previously misidentified as S. speluncae. Key words: Scytalopus speluncae, new species, Brazil, taxonomy Resumo Scytalopus speluncae foi descrita com base em um espécime proveniente de São João del Rei, Minas Gerais, Brasil.
