Hypocnemis
''Hypocnemis'' is a genus of passerine birds in the family Thamnophilidae. They are resident breeders in tropical Central and South America. The genus ''Hypocnemis'' was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847. The name combines the Ancient Greek words ''hupo'' "somewhat like" and ''knēmis'' "leggings". The type species was subsequently designated as the Guianan warbling antbird. The genus contains eight species: * Guianan warbling antbird, ''Hypocnemis cantator'' * Imeri warbling antbird, ''Hypocnemis flavescens'' * Peruvian warbling antbird, ''Hypocnemis peruviana'' * Yellow-breasted warbling antbird, ''Hypocnemis subflava'' * Rondonia warbling antbird, ''Hypocnemis ochrogyna'' * Spix's warbling antbird, ''Hypocnemis striata'' * Manicoré warbling antbird, ''Hypocnemis rondoni'' * Yellow-browed antbird, ''Hypocnemis hypoxantha'' The warbling antbird has traditionally been considered a single polytypic species, but recent evidence has led to it ...

Spix's Warbling Antbird
Spix's warbling antbird (''Hypocnemis striata'') is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. Spix's warbling antbird was described and illustrated by the German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix in 1825 and given the binomial name ''Thamnophilus striatus''. The current genus ''Hypocnemis'' was introduced in 1847. Until recently, it was considered a subspecies of the Guianan warbling antbird (''Hypocnemis cantator''), but based on vocal differences and to a lesser degree differences in plumage, it is now treated as separate species. There are three subspecies: * ''Hypocnemis striata implicata'' Zimmer, JT, 1932 – west central Amazonian Brazil * ''Hypocnemis striata striata'' (von Spix, 1825) – central Amazonian Brazil * ''Hypocnemis striata affinis'' Zimmer, JT, 1932 – east central Amazonian Brazil The westernmost population is likely to represent an undescribed subspecies.

Guianan Warbling Antbird
The Guianan warbling antbird (''Hypocnemis cantator'') is an insectivorous bird in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. It is found at lower levels in humid forest in the Guianas, far eastern Venezuela (with Guyana), and north-eastern Brazil (north of the Amazon River and east of the lower Negro River and the Branco River). Taxonomy The French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon described the Guianan warbling antbird in his ''Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux'' in 1779. The bird was also illustrated in a hand-coloured 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. Buffon did not include a scientific name with his description but in 1783 the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert coined the binomial name ''Formicarius cantatar'' in his catalogue of the ''Planches Enluminées''. The specific name is from the Latin ''cantator'' "a si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Thamnophilidae
The antbirds are a large passerine bird family, Thamnophilidae, found across subtropical and tropical Central and South America, from Mexico to Argentina. There are more than 230 species, known variously as antshrikes, antwrens, antvireos, fire-eyes, bare-eyes and bushbirds. They are related to the antthrushes and antpittas (family Formicariidae), the tapaculos, the gnateaters and the ovenbirds. Despite some species' common names, this family is not closely related to the wrens, vireos or shrikes. Antbirds are generally small birds with rounded wings and strong legs. They have mostly sombre grey, white, brown and rufous plumage, which is sexually dimorphic in pattern and colouring. Some species communicate warnings to rivals by exposing white feather patches on their backs or shoulders. Most have heavy bills, which in many species are hooked at the tip. Most species live in forests, although a few are found in other habitats. Insects and other arthropods from the most impo ...

Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.
