Monasa nigrifrons

The isolated population in the PCE is known from only four records. One specimen collected at Fazenda Santa Justina on 17 March 1987 (MNRJ 34915; Teixeira et al., 1988) and another tape-recorded in Pilar on 31 December 1990 (WA 1258860; J.F. Pacheco) are the only records of this species in Alagoas. In nearby Pernambuco, it was recorded at Usina Trapiche (08°32′00″S, 35°12′11″W) on 15 October 2007 (XC 205736; Pereira et al., 2008) and at Mata do Estado (07°37′11″S, 35°30′11″W) on 5 February 2012 (XC 322376; M. Braun). The absence of recent records in the region suggests that the species may be locally extinct.
