Typical Antbirds (Thamnophilidae)
Lined Antshrike (Thamnophilus tenuepunctatus) - HBW 8, p. 546
French: Batara vermiculé
German: Feinstreifen-Ameisenwürger
Spanish: Batará Vermiculado
Taxonomy: Thamnophilus tenuepuntatus [sic] Lafresnaye, 1853, “Anolaima” (location uncertain, possibly in Norte de Santander rather than in Cundinamarca), Colombia.
Has been considered conspecific with T. palliatus, but they have adjoining ranges with no apparent barriers and no evidence of intergradation. Both belong to the “T. doliatus group”, which also includes T. zarumae, T. multistriatus, T. torquatus and T. ruficapillus. Plumage variation between tenuifasciatus and berlepschi may prove to be clinal. Three subspecies recognized.

- tenuepunctatus Lafresnaye, 1853 - E slope of E Andes in NC Colombia (Norte de Santander, Cundinamarca, Meta).
