Alternative Name: Cryptic Antthrush
- Chamaeza meruloides
Identification
Similar species
Similar to Short-tailed Antthrush and essentially identical to Rufous-tailed Antthrush (which see for comparison of the three)
Distribution
South America: found only in south east Brazil (Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo to north-eastern Santa Catarina).
Taxonomy
This is a monotypic species[1].D A split has taken place: Schwartz's Antthrush and Such's Antthrush used to be part of Rufous-tailed Antthrush.
The last sentence in the paragraph above gives a simplified version of the history. Such's Antthrush was really proven to be a separate population and species by Willis 1992. He then determined that the species he had in hand was close enough to a description made many years earlier based on lost specimens collected by George Such. Much more in SACC proposal 1522
