Cryptic Antthrush
Chamaeza meruloides Vigors, 1825
Formicariidae — Antthrushes
Cryptic Antthrush, Chamaeza meruloides, is a passerine of the Formicariidae found in south-east Brazil, where it breeds in the Atlantic Forest of the coastal mountains. It was described by Vigors in 1825. The bird is notable for having been overlooked for many years because it was confused with similar antthrushes from the same region, and its separate status was only accepted in 1992. It is a monotypic species. Also called Such’s antthrush, it remains a resident within its range.
