Typical Antbirds (Thamnophilidae)
Guianan Streaked Antwren (Myrmotherula surinamensis) - HBW 8, p. 577
French: Myrmidon du Surinam
German: Guayana-Strichelameisenschlüpfer
Spanish: Hormiguerito de Surinam
Taxonomy: Sitta surinamensis J. F. Gmelin, 1788, Surinam.
Considered a sister-species of M. multostriata; until recently was treated as conspecific with that and also with M. pacifica, but vocal and plumage characters indicate that they are all separate species. Genetic and morphological analyses indicate that all three species are part of a monophyletic group that also includes M. brachyura, M. ignota, M. cherriei, M. klagesi, M. longicauda, M. sclateri and M. ambigua (the “streaked antwren assemblage”). Monotypic.
Distribution: S Venezuela (S Delta Amacuro, Bolívar, Amazonas), the Guianas and N Brazil (E Roraima E to Amapá).
