Iquitos Gnatcatcher (Polioptila clementsi)
About the Iquitos Gnatcatcher
The Iquitos gnatcatcher (Polioptila clementsi) is a bird in the family Polioptilidae. It was first described in 2005. It is known only from the Allpahuayo-Mishana National Reserve, west of Iquitos, Peru. The Iquitos gnatcatcher is a member of the Guianan gnatcatcher (Polioptila guianensis) complex. It was accepted as a new species by the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (SACC/AOS) in July 2006 and by other taxonomic bodies at about that time. However, BirdLife International (BLI) recognizes it only as a subspecies of Guianan gnatcatcher. Its specific epithet was chosen to honor the American ornithologist James F. Clements.
