synonyms =The Guianan Warbling Antbird ("Hypocnemis cantator") is a species of
bird in theThamnophilidae family. Until recently, it included the Imeri, Peruvian, Yellow-breasted, Rondonia andSpix's Warbling Antbird assubspecies , but based on vocal differences and to a lesser degree differences inplumage s it has been recommended treating them as separate species. As presently defined, the Guianan Warbling Antbird ismonotypic , although the subspecies "notaea" sometimes has been recognized.The Guianan Warbling Antbird is found at lower levels in humid forest in the
Guianas , far easternVenezuela and north-easternBrazil (north of theAmazon River and east of lowerNegro River and theBranco River ). Its conservation status has not been assessed following the split into several species, but as it generally is common, it is unlikely to be threatened.References
