Synallaxis infuscata Pinto, 1950 ,

Pinto’s Spinetail (IUCN and MMA: EN)

This PCE endemic is inferred to be in decline due to forest loss and fragmentation ( Remsen, 2003) although we found it to be locally common, occupying edge habitats and exhibiting a greater tolerance to habitat fragmentation than other endemic birds in the PCE, potentially warranting a re-evaluation of its status ( Fig. 3 ). Roda et al. (2011) were able to compile records in 53 localities in the PCE. We recorded this species from nine sites in Pernambuco and Paraíba states ( Table 2, Fig. 6 ).
