recognized: A revision has been proposed that would name one
additional taxon, and lead to three distinct biological species:
Hylopezus paraensis (Snethlage┬┤s Antpitta), Hylopezus
whittakeri, sp. nov. (Alta Floresta Antpitta), and Hylopezus
macularius (Spotted Antpitta) with the latter containing
subspecies dilutus (which may also deserve status as independent
biological species). In this proposal, birds currently placed in
paraensis would be split into three groups: those retained in
paraensis, those placed in whittakeri, and those lumped with the
birds formerly placed in diversus which now becomes dilutus.
