Undulated Antpitta (Grallaria squamigera) - HBW 8, p. 714
French: Grallaire ondée
German: Ockerbauch-Ameisenpitta
Spanish: Tororoí Ondoso
Taxonomy: Grallaria squamigera Prévost and Des Murs, 1846, no locality = Bogotá, Colombia.
Birds from Cordillera de Cutucú (SE Ecuador), though tentatively included with similarly plumaged Peruvian race canicauda, are isolated from nearest population of latter by an area occupied by nominate race, and probably represent an independent lineage; further study needed. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- squamigera Prévost & Des Murs, 1846 - Andes from W Venezuela (Mérida) and all three ranges of Colombia S to S Ecuador.
- canicauda Chapman, 1926 - SE Ecuador (Cordillera de Cutucú); also Peru in Cajamarca (Chira) and from S & E of R Marañón to C Bolivia (Cochabamba).
