Inezia subflava

Caseara, Tocantins, January 2009

Observed on river islands in the rio Araguaia, and in low scrubby vegetation that is seasonally inundated on the right bank of the same river, immediately north of Caseara, Tocantins, where the species is common. In their partial revision of the genus Inezia, Zimmer & Whittaker (2000) knew of documented records, involving either specimens or tape-recordings from as far east as the rio Tocantins, only above its confluence with the rio Araguaia, thereby making these records perhaps the first specific mention of I. subflava for Tocantins. To date, the species’ occurrence on river islands in the rio Teles Pires, near Alta Floresta (Zimmer et al. 1997; pers. obs.), is the southernmost published from Brazil.
