Thamnophilidae — Antbirds

Aripuana Antwren, Herpsilochmus stotzi, is a passerine antbird of south-central Amazonian Brazil, where it is found in the Aripuanã-Machado interfluvium. It was described in 2013 and is now known from a wider stretch along the Rio Madeira and Rio Roosevelt in Rondônia, southeastern Amazonas and north-western Mato Grosso. It lives mainly in old-growth campinarana on poor soil, and also in tall undisturbed terra firme with Lepidocaryum tenue palms. It is a monotypic species, and the male and female differ in plumage.
