The Key to Scientific Names
Legend Overview
Introduction
Apparently closely related to both the Rufous-rumped Antwren (Terenura callinota) and the Yellow-rumped Antwren (Terenura sharpei), which are principally or exclusively found in the Andes, respectively, the Chestnut-shouldered Antwren shares a rufous rump patch with the first-named species. However, these two species seem to be entirely sympatric or elevationally parapatric in parts of eastern Peru, thereby minimizing the risk of confusion between them. The Chestnut-shouldered Antwren is a reasonably widespread and generally fairly common inhabitant of western Amazonia, from eastern Ecuador south to northwest Bolivia, and across western Brazil, where it occupies the canopy of terra firme and floodplain forests.
