Dark Newtonia (Newtonia amphichroa)
About the Dark Newtonia
The dark newtonia (Newtonia amphichroa) is a species of bird in the family Vangidae. It is endemic to northeastern Madagascar. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The dark newtonia was formally described in 1891 by the German ornithologist Anton Reichenow under the current binomial name Newtonia amphichroa based on a specimen collected in southern Madagascar. The specific epithet combines the Ancient Greek αμφι/amphi meaning "on all sides" with χροα/khroa, χροας/khroas meaning "appearance" or "colour". Two subspecies are recognised: N. a. amphichroa Reichenow, 1891 – montane north Madagascar N. a. lavarambo Goodman, Younger, Raherilalao & Reddy, 2018 – montane south Madagascar
