    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.

Abstract Identification errors between closely related, co-occurring, species may lead to misdirected social interactions such as costly interbreeding or misdirected aggression. This selects for divergence in traits involved in species identification among co-occurring species, resulting from character displacement.

    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.

    TANAGER-FINCH Oreothraupis arremonops V/R10 This cloud-forest undergrowth species has a poorly known and patchy distribution in the West Andes of Colombia and in north-western Ecuador, with few recent records. However, large tracts of apparently suitable habitat remain in protected areas, the reason for its apparent rarity being essentially unknown. DISTRIBUTION The Tanager-finch (see Remarks 1) is known from just a few apparently disjunct areas on the West Andes in Antioquia, Valle, Cauca and Nariño departments, Colombia, and also from Imbabura and Pichincha provinces, north-western Ecuador, where localities (coordinates from Paynter and Traylor 1977, 1981) are as follows: Colombia (Antioquia) Hacienda Potreros (c.6°39’N 76°09’W; on the western slope of the West Andes, south-west of Frontino), where a male (in USNM) was taken at 1,980 m in June 1950 (also Carriker 1959); (Valle) in the region of Alto Anchicayá (c.3°37’N 76°53’W), where the species has fairly recently been recorded (Orejuela 1983); (Cauca) in the vicinity of Cerro Munchique (2°32’N 76°57’W), where the bird is regularly found on the western slope (Hilty and Brown 1986), specific localities including: La Costa (untraced, but c.10 km north of Cerro Munchique), where a female (in ANSP) was taken at 1,830 m in March 1938 (also Meyer de Schauensee 1948-1952), Cocal (2°31’N 77°00’W; north-west of Cerro Munchique), where two specimens were collected at 1,830 m (Chapman 1917a), El Tambo (2°25’N 76°49’W; on the east slope of the West Andes), whence come specimens taken at 1,370

    Tropical Birding Tours - Trip Report EASTERN ECUADOR RARITIES Custom Tour/ Nov-Dec 2020 A Tropical Birding Tours CUSTOM BIRDING TOUR EASTERN ECUADOR RARITIES 26 Nov-6 Dec, 2020 Report and photos by ANDRES VASQUEZ N., the guide for this tour One of the most wanted birds of the World, the mighty queen of the jungle, Harpy Eagle (picture above at a nesting site). This is probably the easiest access to a nest of this awesome bird of prey in all of Latin America. It involves only a 5-minute car ride from the door of the hotel, 15 minute boat ride on the Napo River, and 2 easy walks of about 10 minutes each on flat but muddy terrain. The nesting pair has been recorded on this site a couple years ago by a local farmer who did not know much about the importance of the bird and therefore it remained “hidden” to the birding world until this year when the same farmer saw the couple again and this time mentioned it to the local guides who recently had been more active in terms of birding. The word spread out quickly and we were forced to tweak the itinerary that we already had for this custom tour and included a visit to the site. It was a tricky visit since just two days before our arrival, a group of scientists that visited the site recommended that no tourists should visit yet. However, since we were already there and it was only two visitors, we joined an already scheduled monitoring visit during which we stayed at the nest site for exactly 3.5 minutes, saw the bird, took a couple photos and left.
