Typical Antbirds (Thamnophilidae)
Scaled Antbird (Drymophila squamata) - HBW 8, p. 621
French: Grisin écaillé
German: Bindenschwanz-Ameisenfänger
Spanish: Tiluchí Escamoso
Taxonomy: Myiothera squamata M. H. K. Lichtenstein, 1823, Bahia, Brazil.
Members of genus form a well-defined clade, and appear to be closely related to Hypocnemis. Genetic analysis indicates that race stictocorypha may be a separate species; possible differences in vocalizations and ecology remain to be investigated further. Geographical ranges based on plumage, but likely to be revised after other characteristics have been studied. Two subspecies currently recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- squamata (M. H. K. Lichtenstein, 1823) - E Brazil in E Alagoas and E Bahia.
- stictocorypha (Boucard & Berlepsch, 1892) - SE Brazil (E Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, and E São Paulo S to extreme NE Santa Catarina).
