Taxonavigation

Ordo: Gruiformes
Familia: Rallidae
Genus: Aramides

Name

Aramides avicenniae Stotz, 1992 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

• Aramides cajanea avicenniae Stotz, 1992. Bulletin of the British Ornithologists’ Club, v. 112, n. 4, p. 232. Holotype, examined: MZUSP 67212, adult male, “Iguape, São Paulo, Brazil”.

Diagnosis

Brown nuchal spot absent or very inconspicuous. Gray upper-back (mantle) and hindneck, with greenish-gray upper wing-coverts. No white or pale feathers whatsoever on the lower chest. Basic phrase of the song bisyllabic (see details above).

Distribution

Coastal Brazil from Santos, São Paulo state, south to Guaratuba Bay, Paraná state (Figures 1 and 12). A single USNM specimen from Santa Catarina state is also mentioned by Bangs (1907). According to him, it agrees completely with BMNH 89.11.20 from the Paraná coast, which we examined and is a typical avicenniae. The USNM specimen mentioned by Bangs could not be examined by us, but indicates that the species’ distribution may extend further south to at least Santa Catarina.
