Scientific name

The striped-throated bush tyrant ( Myiotheretes striaticollis ) is a species of bird in the tyrant family . Its home is northwestern South America .

features

The throat and upper breast are white with strong black dashes, the rest of the underside is uniformly cinnamon-reddish brown. The upper side is brown, with a light stiffness over the reins (supraloral stripe). The wings are dark with a, depending on the moulting stage , variable cinnamon-reddish-brown edge and cinnamon-colored under wing covers. The inner flags of the wing feathers are cinnamon-reddish brown and clearly visible in flight. The tail feathers are also cinnamon-reddish brown, the terminal third is darker in color. The striped-throated bush tyrant is up to 23 cm long, its powerful bill is black.

distribution

The striped-throated bush tyrant lives in South America from Colombia through Ecuador , Peru and Bolivia to northwest Argentina and in the north also in Venezuela . Large populations live in its vast range, though not in great density. Generally only pairs or single specimens are encountered.

Habitat and way of life

Its natural habitats are clearings or bushland in the subtropical or tropical humid mountain forests of the Andes at altitudes between 1700 and 3500 meters. Like most species from the tyrant family, it waits for insects to fly by , often at a relatively high altitude on a branch, a high-voltage line or sitting on a rock. He often returns to this residence .

Research history

The strip-throated bush tyrant was first described as Taenioptera striaticollis by Philip Lutley Sclater in the 1851 volume of the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London , published in 1853 . In the same work, Sclater also described Taenioptera erythropygia , the rustbump bush tyrant , which is now carried under the scientific name of Cnemarchus erythropygius . The genus Cnemarchus was united by some authors with the genus Myiotheretes , others put the striped-throated bush tyrant close to the genera Gubernetes and Muscipipra .

In 1906, Count Hans von Berlepsch described seven new Neotropical birds in the Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club . One of them was the new subspecies M. s. pallidus , which was collected by Louis Dinelli from the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Buenos Aires . Some of the bellows were presented to the club by Carl Eduard Hellmayr .

Subspecies

Two subspecies are currently distinguished:

  • Myiotheretes striaticollis striaticollis ( Sclater , 1853) - Occurrence from the Sierra de Perijá and the Andes of Venezuela and Colombia to Peru (south to the regions of Apurímac and Arequipa ).
  • Myiotheretes striaticollis pallidus Berlepsch , 1906 - Occurrence from the Andes of Peru (regions Cusco and Puno ) to Bolivia and north-western Argentina (south to the province of Tucumán ).

etymology

The word "Myiotheretes" is of Greek origin and is made up of the words "muia μύγα " for "fly" and "thēratēs θηρατής " for "hunter". The specific epithet »striaticollis« is derived from the Latin words »striatus« for »striped« and »colli« for »neck, throat«. The Latin word »pallidus« is derived from »pallere« for »to be pale / pale«.
