The Key to Scientific Names
Legend Overview
Introduction
The Berlepsch’s Canastero has a tiny range and is little known, recognized only from the slopes of Mt. Illampu in La Paz Department, Bolivia. It is closely related to the Creamy-breasted Canastero (Asthenes dorbignyi) complex, and has been considered conspecific with that species. It does have distinctive plumage features, including rufous outer two tail feathers, and it is larger and larger billed than dorbignyi. Vocal and molecular studies are needed to understand the taxonomic position of this species. It is found between 2600 and 3700 m in arid shrubby slopes, even in little scrubby ravines adjacent to terraced agricultural areas.
