Typical Antbirds (Thamnophilidae) - HBW 8
Spot-crowned Antvireo (Dysithamnus puncticeps)
French: Batara ponctué
German: Tüpfelscheitelwürgerling
Spanish: Batarito Coronipunteado
Taxonomy: Dysithamnus puncticeps Salvin, 1866, Calovévora, Veraguas, Panama.
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. xanthopterus appear to form a monophyletic group to which other species placed in the genus are probably closely related.

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. xanthopterus appear to form a monophyletic group to which other species placed in the genus are probably closely related. Birds from S Panama and W Colombia described as race intensus and others from SW Colombia and W Ecuador as flemmingi on basis of darkness of plumage, but apparently intergrade broadly with each other and with other populations; racial subdivision considered unwarranted. Monotypic.
Distribution: SE Costa Rica (Limón), Panama (Caribbean slope, also Pacific slope in extreme E Panamá and Darién), W Colombia (Pacific slope, and lower Cauca Valley in Antioquia) and NW Ecuador (S to Los Ríos and Manabí).
