Formicivora
''Formicivora'' is a genus of insectivorous birds in the antbird, 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 ni ...

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] |
