This species is found in the northern parts of South America
and in the southern half of Central America, but only just reaches
into our region in eastern Honduras which is at the northernmost
extent of its range. Bonta and Anderson describe them as common
in the region, which I consider a bit of an exaggeration (there
were only 4 records in the country prior to Land’s publication
in 1968) and I would consider them to be fairly common. On my
second visit to Las Marias, John Jackson and I observed a number
of Spotted Antbirds feeding at an ant swarm, along with many
other ant-followers. On my third visit, Bryan Sharp and I saw
several around the cabin below Pico Dama, at an elevation of
about 400m. Again, they were associated with an ant swarm and
we captured 3 of them in mist-nets.
