Thamnophilus Atrinucha - Black-crowned Antshrike XC248882
''Thamnophilus'' is a genus of antbird in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. The species in this genus are commonly known as antshrikes. They are insectivores that feed by gleaning prey from foliage and are found in the Neotropics. The genus ''Thamnophilus'' was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Vieillot in 1816. The name combines the Ancient Greek words ''thamnos'' "bush" and ''philos'' "loving". The type species was subsequently designated as the barred antshrike. The genus contains the following species: * Collared antshrike, ''Thamnophilus bernardi'' * Black-backed antshrike, ''Thamnophilus melanonotus'' * Band-tailed antshrike, ''Thamnophilus melanothorax'' * Barred antshrike, ''Thamnophilus doliatus'' * Chapman's antshrike, ''Thamnophilus zarumae'' * Bar-crested antshrike, ''Thamnophilus multistriatus'' * Chestnut-backed antshrike, ''Thamnophilus palliatus'' * Lined antshrike, ''Thamnophilus tenuepunctatus'' * Black-hooded antshrike, ''Thamnophilus b ...

Taxa Named By Osbert Salvin
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in the intro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Birds Described In 1892
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the ostrich. There are about ten thousand living species, more than half of which are passerine, or "perching" birds. Birds have whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely adapted for flight. Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have further evolved for swimming. Bi ...

Northern Slaty Antshrike
The northern slaty antshrike (''Thamnophilus punctatus'') is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It previously included the Natterer's slaty antshrike, Bolivian slaty antshrike, Planalto slaty antshrike and Sooretama slaty antshrike as subspecies, in which case the combined species simply was referred to as the slaty antshrike. The northern slaty antshrike is found in north-eastern South America in Brazil, Venezuela and the Guianas. In Brazil, it occurs in the northeast quadrant of the Amazon Basin, (with the Guianas), and from the Brazilian state of Roraima in the west, to the states of Pará, and Amapá on the Atlantic at the Amazon River outlet. The species occurs only north of the Amazon. A disjunct population exists along the eastern slope of the Andes in Colombia and Venezuela, while two other populations exist in the drainage of the Huallaga and the Marañón River in northern Peru and far southern Ecuador. The populations in Peru and Ecuador are sometim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
