File:Myrmeciza melanoceps - White-shouldered Antbird XC249463.mp3 The white-shouldered antbird (Percnostola melanoceps) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Brazil , Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical swamps.
The white-shouldered antbird was described and illustrated by the German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix in 1825 and given the binomial name Thamnophilus melanoceps.[1] It was subsequently moved to the genus Myrmeciza. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Myrmeciza was polyphyletic.[2] In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera this species was moved to the resurrected genus Akletos which had been introduced by the Polish ornithologist Andrzej Dunajewski in 1948.[3][4][5]
