Diademed Tapaculo, Scytalopus schulenbergi, is a bird of the Rhinocryptidae family that breeds in south Peru and central Bolivia. It was described by Whitney in 1994. Its range runs from the Cordillera Vilcanota in Cuzco south-east to the Cochabamba Department. It lives in bamboo and other thick growth in humid mountain forest close to the treeline. The male is marked by a silvery forecrown and eyebrow, with a dark face below, and this feature gives the bird its name.
