Woodcreepers (Dendrocolaptidae)
Bar-bellied Woodcreeper (Hylexetastes stresemanni) - HBW 8, p. 412
French: Grimpar de Stresemann
German: Wellenbauch-Baumsteiger
Spanish: Trepatroncos de Stresemann
Taxonomy: Hylexetastes stresemanni Snethlage, 1925, Acajutuba, lower Rio Negro, Brazil.
Close to and possibly conspecific with H. perrotii, having similarities in voice and morphology; characters of race insignis suggest possible intergradation between the two species. Has apparently hybridized intergenerically with Dendrocolaptes picumnus in W Brazil, one of few cases of hybridization in suboscines. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- insignis J. T. Zimmer, 1934 - extreme NW corner of Amazonian Brazil on N bank of R Uaupés; sight records from adjacent Colombia (Vaupés) require verification.
- stresemanni Snethlage, 1925 - NW Amazonia, in Brazil from lower R Negro S to R Solimões (W limit unknown).
- undulatus Todd, 1925 - SW Amazonia, S of Amazon, in E Peru (upper R Ucayali), N Bolivia (Pando) and NW Brazil (E to at least R Purús, probably to R Madeira).
