About the Black-faced Antthrush

The black-faced antthrush (Formicarius analis) is a species of passerine bird in the family Formicariidae. It is found in Central America from Honduras through Panama, on Trinidad, and in every mainland South American country except Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

The black-faced antthrush was formally described in 1837 by the French naturalists Alcide d'Orbigny and Frédéric de Lafresnaye from a specimen collected in Bolivia. They coined the binomial name Myothera analis. The specific epithet is from the Modern Latin analis meaning "relating to the undertail-coverts of the vent". In 1858 it was moved to genus Formicarius that had been introduced by the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert in 1783.

The black-faced antthrush has these 11 subspecies: F. a. umbrosus Ridgway, 1893 F. a. hoffmanni (Cabanis, 1861) F. a. panamensis Ridgway, 1908 F. a. virescens Todd, 1915 F. a. saturatus Ridgway, 1893 F. a. griseoventris Aveledo & Ginés, 1950

F. a. connectens Chapman, 1914 F. a. zamorae Chapman, 1923 F. a. crissalis (Cabanis, 1861) F. a. analis (d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) F. a. paraensis Novaes, 1957 The first five subspecies on the above list are treated... Wikipedia →
