Predicted Antwren (Herpsilochmus praedictus)
About the Predicted Antwren
The predicted antwren (Herpsilochmus praedictus) is an insectivorous bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to Amazonian Brazil. The predicted antwren was first described in 2013. The name came from field biologists' expectation that a new species of antwren would be found in southwestern Amazonia. Its discovery confirmed the prediction, and genetic and vocal analysis confirmed its identity as a species. Regional and worldwide taxonomic systems quickly recognized it. The predicted antwren is monotypic.
