Tepui Wren (Troglodytes rufulus)
About the Tepui Wren
The tepui wren (Troglodytes rufulus) is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It is found in Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela, where it inhabits high tablelands called tepuis. The tepui wren has often been treated a subspecies of mountain wren (Troglodytes solstitialis). The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society (SACC/AOS) considers those two, ochraceous wren (T. achraceus), rufous-browed wren (T. rufociliatus), and Santa Marta wren (T. monticola) to be a superspecies. The tepui wren has six subspecies: T. r. rufulus Cabanis (1849) T. r. fulvigularis Zimmer & Phelps (1945) T. r. yavii Phelps & Phelps Jr. (1949) T. r. duidae Chapman (1929) T. r. wetmorei Phelps & Phelps Jr. (1955) T. r. marahuacae Phelps Jr. & Aveledo (1984).
