From the author: The first detailed information on the vocalizations (including the first sound spectrograms) and natural history of the Caura Antbird (Percnostola caurensis) and the Yapacana Antbird (Myrmeciza disjuncta) are presented. The Caura Antbird was studied in the Serrania de la Cerbatana, edo. Bolivar, Venezuela, where it inhabits humid foothill forest dominated by large rocks. Caura Antbirds specialized in foraging on or beneath rocks, a behavior unusual among the Thamnophilidae. The Yapacana Antbird was studied at a site along the south bank of the Rio Ventuari, edo. Amazonas, Venezuela. These antbirds were locally abundant in a specialized stunted woodland that grows on white sand soils. based on newly described vocal characters, the closest relatives of P. caurensis appear to be P. leucostigma and P. schistacea, whereas M. disjuncta has no apparent close relatives and probably merits placement in a monotypic genus.
