Lunulated Antbird
Oneillornis lunulatus (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1873)
Thamnophilidae — Antbirds
Lunulated Antbird, Oneillornis lunulatus, is a passerine of the antbird family in western Amazonia, where it occurs in Ecuador and Peru. It lives in humid várzea evergreen forest and in the transition zone between that forest and terra firme, usually in the undergrowth. It is an obligate follower of army ant swarms, taking arthropods that are driven out by the ants. The species was first described in 1873 by Philip Sclater and Osbert Salvin, and it now stands alone in its genus.
