List Of Antbird Genera
The antbirds are a large family (biology), family, antbird, Thamnophilidae, of smallish passerine bird species of subtropical and tropical Central America, Central and South America. The family has more than 230 species divided into 63 genera and includes the antshrikes, antwrens, antvireos, fire-eyes, bare-eyes and bushbirds. The most closely related species to the antbirds are the gnateaters (family Conopophagidae) and the crescentchests (family Melanopareiidae). List and classification of genera The list of genera below follows the ''World Bird List'' maintained by Frank Gill (ornithologist), Frank Gill, David Donsker and Pamela Rasmussen on behalf of the International Ornithologists' Union. The division of the genera into subfamilies and tribes follows the phylogeny published by Jan Ohlson and colleagues in 2013 as well as the list maintained by Joseph del Hoyo on the Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive website.

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opi ...

Formicivora
''Formicivora'' is a genus of insectivorous birds in the 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 nin ...

The black-and-white antbird was first described by the English ornithologists Philip Sclater and Osbert Salvin in 1866 and given the binomial name ''Hypocmenis hemileucus''. It was moved to genus ''Myrmochanes'' following a proposal by the American ornithologist Joel Asaph Allen in 1889. The species is included in the ...

Terenura
''Terenura'' is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. The genus was erected by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis and Ferdinand Heine in 1860 with the streak-capped antwren as the type species. The name of the genus comes from the Ancient Greek words ''terēn'' for "soft" and ''oura'' for "tail". The genus contains two species: * Streak-capped antwren (''Terenura maculata'') * Orange-bellied antwren (''Terenura sicki'') The genus formerly included an additional four species but these were moved to the newly erected genus '' Euchrepomis'' based on the results of a genetic study published in 2012.

Myrmotherula
''Myrmotherula'' is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. These are all small antbirds, measuring . The genus was erected by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1858. The type species is the pygmy antwren. The genus currently contains the following species: Streaked group: * Moustached antwren (''Myrmotherula ignota'') * Pygmy antwren (''Myrmotherula brachyura'') * Guianan streaked antwren (''Myrmotherula surinamensis'') * Amazonian streaked antwren (''Myrmotherula multostriata'') * Pacific antwren (''Myrmotherula pacifica'') * Cherrie's antwren (''Myrmotherula cherriei'') * Klages's antwren (''Myrmotherula klagesi'') * Stripe-chested antwren (''Myrmotherula longicauda'') * Yellow-throated antwren (''Myrmotherula ambigua'') * Sclater's antwren (''Myrmotherula sclateri'') Grey group: * White-flanked antwren (''Myrmotherula axillaris'') * Silvery-flanked antwren (''Myrmotherula luctuosa'') * Slaty antwren (''Myrmotherula schi ...

Myrmophylax
The black-throated antbird (''Myrmophylax atrothorax'') is a species of passerine bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Taxonomy and systematics The black-throated antbird was described by the French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in his ''Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux'' in 1779. 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 ''Formicarius attothorax'' in his catalogue of the ''Planches Enluminées''. (The specific epithet's spelling was later corrected to ''atro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ammonastes
The grey-bellied antbird (''Ammonastes pelzelni'') is a species of passerine bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in the northwestern Amazon Basin. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The grey-bellied antbird was originally described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1890 and given the binomial name ''Myrmeciza pelzelni''. The specific epithet was chosen to honour the Austrian ornithologist August von Pelzeln (1825–1891). A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that the genus ''Myrmeciza'' was polyphyletic. In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic In cladistics for a group of organisms, monophyly is the condition of being a clade—that is, a group of taxa composed only of a common ancestor (or more precisely an ancestral population) and all of its lineal descendants.
