Dugand's Antwren

Herpsilochmus dugandi Meyer de Schauensee, 1945

Thamnophilidae — Antbirds

Dugand's Antwren, Herpsilochmus dugandi, is a passerine of far western Amazonia, occurring in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. It was described by Meyer de Schauensee in 1945 and belongs to the antbird family Thamnophilidae. It lives in humid evergreen forest, from the sub-canopy to the canopy, especially in terra firme and floodplain forest, and it also uses vine tangles. The species is monotypic and was once treated as the same species as the spot-tailed antwren. Its name honours the Colombian naturalist Armando Dugand.
