Striated antthrush
species of bird
The striated antthrush (Chamaeza nobilis), sometimes called the noble antthrush, is a species of bird in the family Formicariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
Taxonomy and systematics
The striated antthrush was described by the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould in 1855 and given its current binomial name Chamaeza nobilis.
The striated antthrush has three subspecies, the nominate C. n. nobilis (Gould, 1855), C. n. rubida (Zimmer, JT, 1932), and C. n. fulvipectus (Todd, 1927). Several authors have suggested that C. n. fulvipectus should be treated as a separate species.
Description
The striated antthrush is 22 to 23 cm (8.7 to 9.1 in) long and weighs about 120 to 150 g (4.2 to 5.3 oz).
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Striated antthrush” is species of bird. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Striated, antthrush and species, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “species of bird” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 6, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q859967. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1855, 1932 and 1927.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
