Typical Antbirds (Thamnophilidae)

Streak-crowned Antvireo (Dysithamnus striaticeps) - HBW 8, p. 570

French: Batara strié German: Streifenkopfwürgerling Spanish: Batarito Estriado

Taxonomy: Dysithamnus striaticeps Lawrence, 1865, Angostura, Costa Rica.
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. puncticeps and D. xanthopterus appear to form a monophyletic group to which other species placed in the genus are probably closely related. Monotypic.

Distribution: Atlantic slope in extreme SE Honduras (S El Paraíso), Nicaragua (R San Juán) and Costa Rica (also barely spilling over to Pacific slope in Guanacaste).
