Alagoas Antwren
Myrmotherula snowi Teixeira & Gonzaga, 1985
Thamnophilidae — Antbirds
Alagoas Antwren, Myrmotherula snowi, is a passerine of the antbird family found in eastern Brazil. It was described by Teixeira and Gonzaga in 1985 and is confined to South America’s eastern Brazil. A small bird with a short tail, it was first recorded near Murici in Alagoas and later also found in Pernambuco, though it was again known only from Murici by about 2020. It lives in isolated pieces of semi-humid lowland evergreen forest, within a narrow altitude band. It is a full species in the antbird family and was once treated as part of the Unicoloured Antwren.
