Alagoas Antwren (Myrmotherula snowi)
About the Alagoas Antwren
The Alagoas antwren (Myrmotherula snowi) is a Critically Endangered species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to Brazil. The Alagoas antwren was originally described as a subspecies of the unicolored antwren (M. unicolor) but since the late twentieth century has been recognized as a full species. The two form a superspecies. The Alagoas antwren, the unicolored antwren (M. unicolor), the Yungas antwren (M. grisea), and the plain-winged antwren (M. behni) appear to form a monophyletic group with similar vocalizations and habitat requirements. The Alagoas antwren's specific epithet honors David Snow, a British ornithologist "who was a pioneer in life history studies of Neotropical birds".
