COMMENTS: Ridgely and Tudor (1994: 229–330) placed leucostigma in Schistocichla and stated that humaythae may prove to be a separate species because it has a very different song from other populations of the species.

Cory and Hellmayr, 1924: 258–259.

Myiothera ruficauda Wied

Myiothera ruficauda Wied, 1831: 1060 (no type locality given).

Now Myrmeciza ruficauda ruficauda (Wied, 1831) . See

Pinto, 1978: 395.

SYNTYPES: AMNH 5388, adult male, AMNH 6829, adult male, AMNH 5386 [juvenile male], AMNH 5385, female, collected in southeastern Brazil, by Maximilian, Prince of Wied. From the Maximilian Collection.

COMMENTS: Allen (1889b: 254–255) stated that the original label covering AMNH 5388 and 5385 referred to them as male and female. The same was true of the label covering AMNH 6829 and 5386. Allen quoted Wied’s manuscript catalog as listing 3 male and 1 female specimens. This is apparently the source of Allen’s decision to treat one of the female-plumaged specimens as a young male. Althan AMNH 5385, it is matched by other specimens sexed as females in the AMNH collection.

Cory and Hellmayr (1924: 272) suggested Rio Doce, Espirito Santo, as a type locality.

Ridgely and Tudor (1994: 332) discussed the generic allocation of this species. Although they retained it in the genus Myrmeciza , they suggested that perhaps it should be in a monotypic genus.
