White-eyed Stipplethroat (Epinecrophylla leucophthalma)
About the White-eyed Stipplethroat
The white-eyed stipplethroat, previously called white-eyed antwren (Epinecrophylla leucophthalma), is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. The white-eyed stipplethroat was described by the Austrian ornithologist August von Pelzeln in 1868 and given the binomial name Formicivora leucophthalma. It was later placed in genus Myrmotherula and still later, based on genetic and vocal studies, it and seven other members of the genus were moved to genus Epinecrophylla. All were eventually named "stipplethroats" to highlight a common feature and to set them apart from Myrmotherula antwrens. The white-eyed stipplethroat has these four subspecies: E. l. dissita (Bond, 1950) E. l. leucophthalma (Pelzeln, 1868) E. l. phaeonota (Todd, 1927) E. l. sordida (Todd, 1927)
