The white-bellied ant slip ( Myrmotherula longicauda ) belongs to the genus Myrmotherula within the ant bird family (Thamnophilidae) .
The species occurs in Bolivia , Ecuador , southwest Colombia, and Peru along the east side of the Andes .
The distribution area includes moist forest edges on the foothills of the eastern Andes , tropical or subtropical moist lowland forest, mountain forest and former tree-lined habitats between 400 and 1800 m altitude.
The Latin additional species comes from the Latin longus 'long' and the Latin cauda 'tail' .
features
The species is small for ant hatchers, but has a comparatively long tail. The male is black with white or pale gray thin stripes on the head, chest and back and has a thin black chin stripe and a thin white stripe above the eyes. The wings are black, the wing-coverts have wide, the hand and arm wings narrow white edges. The tail is black with white tips, the underside is white, lightly dashed on the chest and flanks.
