Cabanis's Spinetail
Synallaxis cabanisi Berlepsch & Leverkühn, 1890
Furnariidae — Ovenbirds
Cabanis's Spinetail, Synallaxis cabanisi, is a bird of the Furnariidae family found in South America, from central Peru through northern Bolivia to central Brazil. It is a resident of the eastern Andean foothills and nearby lowlands, where it uses forest edges, secondary growth and river-side woodland. Dense undergrowth is important, and it is often associated with Guadua bamboo or Gynerium cane. The species was described by Berlepsch & Leverkühn in 1890. Two subspecies are recognised, and the Brazilian population is disjunct from the main range.
