Caura Antbird (Myrmelastes caurensis)
About the Caura Antbird
The Caura antbird (Myrmelastes caurensis) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Brazil and Venezuela. The Caura antbird has a complicated taxonomic history. It was described as Sclateria schistacea caurensis, a subspecies of the slate-colored antbird (now M. schistaceus). A 1924 publication listed it as a separate species, Sclateria caurensis. It was later placed in genera Schistocichla and Percnostola. A 2013 study finalized its move to genus Myrmelastes. The Caura antbird has two subspecies, the nominate M. c. caurensis (Hellmayr, 1906) and M. c. australis (Zimmer, JT & Phelps, WH, 1947).
