The thrush-like antpitta (Myrmothera campanisona) is a species of bird in the antpitta family Grallariidae. It is found in Amazonia.
Taxonomy
The thrush-like antpitta was described in 1778 by the French polymath Comte de Buffon in his Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux. Buffon used the French name "Le grand Béfroi". A hand-colour engraving was published separately to accompany Buffon's description.[2][3] Buffon did not introduce scientific names but 1783 the French naturalist Johann Hermann coined the binomial name Myrmornin campanisonam for Buffon's bird.[4] The specific epithet campanisona combines the Late Latin campana meaning "bell" with the Latin sonus meaning "sounding".[5] The thrush-like antpitta is now placed in the genus Myrmothera that was introduced in 1816 by Louis Pierre Vieillot.[6]
Distribution and habitat
It is found in Bolivia, Brazil , Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. In 2018, the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society split one subspecies as Tapajos antpitta (Mymothera subcanescens).[7] Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.
