Distribution
Endemic to the Atlantic Rainforest of southeast Brazil. Found in southeast Minas Gerais, south Espírito Santo, northeast São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
A restricted-range species with a small range and specialized habitat requirements. Locally common.
Taxonomy
This is a monotypic species.
Habitat
Found in understorey of bamboo thickets in montane evergreen forest. Occurs mainly at 1150 to 2200 m, sometimes down to 800 m. Often in the same habitat as Bertoni's Antbird and replaced in lower elevations by Ochre-rumped Antbird and Ferruginous Antbird.
Behaviour
Diet
Feeds on insects, takes probably also spiders.
Forages in pairs or small groups, usually up to 3 m above the ground, rarely higher. Sometimes joins mixed-species flocks of other insectivores when they pass through its territory. Searches for food in bamboo, vine tangles and shrubby thickets. An active forager, progressing on zigzag course by short hops, separated by frequent pauses to scan around. Rarely follows army ants.

No information available.
Movements
Presumably a resident species with possibly some periodic local movements due to major die-offs of bamboo.
