Typical Antbirds (Thamnophilidae)
Plumbeous Antbird (Myrmeciza hyperythra) - HBW 8, p. 663
French: Alapi plombé
German: Bleigrauer Ameisenvogel
Spanish: Hormiguero Plomizo
Taxonomy: Thamnophilus hyperythrus P. L. Sclater, 1855, Chamicuros, Loreto, Peru.
Genus appears not to represent a monophyletic grouping, but traditional arrangement maintained pending further phylogenetic study. Present species and M. goeldii, M. melanoceps, M. fortis and M. immaculata often considered to form a species group on basis of large size, but more work needed in order to confirm a close relationship. Monotypic.
Distribution: S Colombia (Caquetá), NE Ecuador (Napo, Sucumbios), E Peru (Loreto S to Madre de Dios), SW Amazonian Brazil (E to R Purus drainage) and NW Bolivia (Pando, N La Paz, Beni).
