Allpahuayo Antbird (Percnostola arenarum)
About the Allpahuayo Antbird
The Allpahuayo antbird (Percnostola arenarum) is a Vulnerable species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to northeastern Peru. The Allpahuayo antbird was formally described in 2001. The holotype is a female collected in 1998 and further specimens were collected during studies in the same general area. The study authors assigned the new species to genus Percnostola that had been erected in 1860; it shares this genus with the black-headed antbird (P. rufifrons). The specific epithet arenarum is derived from the Latin word for "sand", "arena", to reflect the sandy soils of the species' main habitat. The English name recognizes the Zona Reservada Allpahuayo-Mishana.
