The bare-eyed antbird (Rhegmatorhina gymnops), occasionally known as the Santarem antbird, is a species of insectivorous passerine bird in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. It is endemic to Brazil . Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
The bare-eyed antbird was formally described by the American ornithologist Robert Ridgway in 1888 and given the binomial name Rhegmatorhina gymnops.[2]
This species is a specialist ant-follower that depends upon swarms of army ants to flush insects and other arthropods out of the leaf litter.[3][4]
