Conopophaga is a genus of birds in the gnateater family. Its members are found in forest and woodland in South America.
The black-cheeked gnateater ("Conopophaga melanops") is a species of bird in the family Conopophagidae endemic to Brazil. The male is distinguished by its orange crown, black face and white throat, while the female has brown plumage.
Protected bird species are white-necked hawk (Buteogallus lacernulatus), rufous gnateater (Conopophaga lineata), scalloped antbird (Myrmeciza ruficauda), spot-winged wood quail (Odontophorus capueira), golden-spangled piculet (Picumnus exilis) and Alagoas tyrannulet (Phylloscartes ceciliae).
They are round, short-tailed, and long-legged birds, 16–19 cm (6-7½ inches) in length, making them the largest members of the gnateater family. These terrestrial birds are quite upright when standing. Sexes differ in plumage, but sexual dichromatism is less pronounced than in most members of the other gnateater genus, " Conopophaga". They are insectivorous.
Animals associated with this habitat include birds such as the grey-breasted parakeet ("Pyrrhura griseipectus"), ochraceous piculet ("Picumnus limae"), Ceará gnateater ("Conopophaga lineata cearae") and Araripe manakin ("Antilophia bokermanni"), frogs such as "Adelophryne baturitensis" and "A. maranguapensis", and lizards such as "Mabuya arajara" and "Leposoma baturitensis".
The chestnut-belted gnateater ("Conopophaga aurita") is a species of bird in the Conopophagidae family, the gnateaters. It is found in the Amazon Basin of northern Brazil, southern Colombia and eastern Peru and Ecuador; also the Guianan countries of Guyana, Suriname and eastern French Guiana.
They are round, short-tailed, and long-legged birds, about in length. They are quite upright when standing. They are sexually dimorphic, with various shades of brown, rufous, olive, white, grey and black being the dominating colours. Most "Conopophaga" species have a white tuft behind the eye.
The gnateaters are a bird family, Conopophagidae, consisting of ten small passerine species in two genera, which occur in South and Central America. The family was formerly restricted to the gnateater genus "Conopophaga"; analysis of mtDNA cytochrome "b" and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 sequences (Rice 2005a,b) indicates that the "antpittas" of the genus "Pittasoma" also belong in this family. The association between this genus and "Conopophaga" is also supported by traits in their natural history, morphology, and vocalizations (Rice, 2005a). The members of this family are very closely related to the antbirds and less closely to the antpittas and tapaculos. Due to their remote and dim habitat, gnateaters are a little-studied and poorly known family of birds, though they are often sought after by birdwatchers.
Gnateaters are birds of the forest understory, bamboo stands, and the forest floor. The members of the genus "Conopophaga" are found in the Amazon and Orinoco basins, east and central Andean slopes, Atlantic Forest, and nearby regions, while the members of the genus "Pittasoma" are found in the Chocó, and Panama and Costa Rica. Some species live in impenetrable thickets; others live in more open forest. Most are entirely restricted to humid habitats, but several species extend into drier regions in eastern Brazil. While the members of the genus "Conopophaga" always are found near the forest floor, seldom rising more than 1.5 m above the ground, they also seldom travel or spend much time on the ground (though they do feed there; see diet). The members of the genus "Pittasoma" are more commonly seen hopping around on the ground.
The rufous gnateater ("Conopophaga lineata") is a passerine bird of the gnateater family, Conopophagidae. It is found in forest understory and bushes in eastern Brazil from Rio Grande do Sul north to central Brazil. Its range also extends into eastern Paraguay and north-eastern Argentina and it has recently been recorded in Uruguay. It is often elusive and hard to see, but is commoner and less shy than other gnateaters.
The Ceará gnateater or Caatinga gnateater ("Conopophaga cearae") is a passerine bird of the gnateater family, Conopophagidae. It is found in forest understory and bushes in northeastern Brazil. Some authorities, either presently or formerly, have considered it to be a subspecies of the rufous gnateater. It is now considered distinct both vocally and morphologically, having a deeper, more orange-buff color and lacking, or almost lacking, the white crescent found on the lower throat/upper chest of the remaining subspecies.
Gnateaters are insectivorous as the group name implies. The members of the genus "Conopophaga" feed mostly using two methods; one is to perch above the forest floor until prey is spotted, then lunge down to the ground to snatch it; having landed on the ground to snatch a prey item it will not remain on the forest floor for more than a couple of seconds. The second method used is to glean insects directly from the foliage, trunks, and branches of low vegetation. Typical prey items include spiders, caterpillars, insect larvae, grasshoppers and beetles; individuals of some species have also been observed eating fruit and in one case a frog. Very little information is available on the diet of the two "Pittasoma", but they are presumably also insectivorous, and have been recorded following army ants swarms.
