Thamnomanes caesius

Records in several localities,both in lowland and montane forests, in the states of Alagoas ( Pinto, 1954;Teixeira, 1987; Roda, 2003; Minns et al., 2010), Pernambuco ( Berla, 1946; Roda, 2003; Lyra-Neves et al., 2004) and Paraíba (eBird checklist S55209298 by F. Olmos & S. Roda), suggest that Cinereous Antshrike was once widespread in the PCE.The last known records in the region are tape-recordings from the Murici Ecological Station in 2004 (e.g., XC 521955; D. Buzzetti). Despite several ornithologists and birdwatchers conducting field work at most of these sites, particularly at the latter (e.g., GonÇalves & Efe, 2022), no recent records are known. The species is likely extinct in the PCE.
