Typical Antbirds (Thamnophilidae)
Rufous-backed Antvireo (Dysithamnus xanthopterus) - HBW 8, p. 570
French: Batara à dos roux
German: Rostrückenwürgerling
Spanish: Batarito Dorsirrufo
Taxonomy: Dasythamnus xanthopterus Burmeister, 1856, Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Relationships of genus not clearly established; preliminary molecular evidence suggests affiliation with Thamnophilus, and morphological characteristics have connected it with Thamnomanes. Present species and D. stictothorax, D. mentalis, D. striaticeps and D. puncticeps appear to form a monophyletic group to which other species in the genus are probably closely related. Monotypic.
Distribution: Coastal mountains of SE Brazil from Rio de Janeiro S to Paraná.
