Article: A new Scytalopus tapaculo (Rhinocryptidae) from Bolivia, with notes on other Bolivian members of the genus and the Magellanicus complex.

The genus Scytalopus spans the entire range of the Andes (as well as the mountains of southern Central America and the mountains and isolated serras of eastern Brazil southward to Misiones, Argentina), and appears to have undergone a particularly complex speciation (Zimmer 1939; Fjeldsa and Krabbe 1990; Arctander and Fjeldsa, in press; T. Schulenberg and N. Krabbe, pets. comm.). That Scytalopus has not colonized pantepui probably reflects poor dispersal capability, a factor that has contributed to a rapid and diverse speciation in the geographically complex Andes. The informative accounts of Scytalopus taxa in Fjeldsa and Krabbe (1990) represent the first comprehensive ...
