Black-hooded Antwren
Formicivora erythronotos Hartlaub, 1852
Thamnophilidae — Antbirds
Black-hooded Antwren, Formicivora erythronotos, is a passerine of the antbird family found in south-east Brazil, where it is confined to coastal Rio de Janeiro state. It lives in a few separate groups along the Baía da Ilha Grande coast and uses young secondary growth, regenerating forest and abandoned banana plantations that are returning to woodland. It was first described by Hartlaub in 1852 and later moved back to Formicivora after study of its structure and voice. The species is monotypic and has a slim black bill.
