Synallaxis hypospodia

Although some reference works mention the species’ occurrence in Alagoas (e.g., Sick, 1997), specific records from the state have never been reported in the primary literature. One specimen collected at Usina Sinimbu on 12 March 1957 (LACM 26877; Fig. 8 ) is the first state record,which has never been reported in the literature possibly because the specimen was confused in the field with another regionally commoner Synallaxis spinetail. The species was later tape-recorded at Fazenda Riachão on 22 April1985 (FNJV8568;J.Vielliard), 18May1988 (FNJV9236; J.Vielliard) and 23 May 1988 (FNJV 10033; J.Vielliard), and at Fazenda Serra Nova on 13 October 1987 ( ML 272328 ; T. Schulenberg), and collected at Fazenda Riachão (MNRJ 34974), Grota do UruÇú (MNRJ 34975), São Miguel dos Campos (MNRJ 34533) and Maceió (MNRJ 36347) in the 1980s. In the PCE, the species is also known from nearby Pernambuco (e.g., Farias et al., 2002;WikiAves, 2021).
