    Rhinocryptidae

    Very much so - Neils Krabbe's work goes back many decades - I seem to recall using some of his recordings of Scytalopus on my first trip to Ecuador in the early 1990s. Without those, we wouldn't have had a clue which ones we were watching. cheers, alan

    Rhinocryptidae

    Interesting to note that, according to my recent check, Tatama Tapaculo now shows substantially more results than Alto Pisones Tapaculo.. cheers, alan

However the statement "Phenotypically, the new species is uniformly blackish in color and small-to-medium in size, most similar to members of the allopatric S. latrans complex." seems at odds with a close relative...

    Rhinocryptidae

    Called "Millpo" Tap in PAJM's write-up of his last trip to Central Peru: "‘Millpo’ Tapaculo Scytalopus sp. nov.: This as yet undescribed tapaculo (which is presumably another endemic), was seen very well along the Satipo Road."...

    I assume this is the "well known" Milpo Tapaculo, seen by a fair few birders in recent years. cheers, alan
