Abstract

Between July 2011 and March 2012, we recorded Polystictus pectoralis, a little-known species in Colombia considered Near Threatened, in the Llanos Orientales of eastern Colombia in the municipality of Orocué, department of Casanare, where it occurred near irrigation canals amid oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations and in brushy savanna of Andropogon sp. We also include two additional new localities (Trinidad, department of Casanare y Puerto Carreño, department of Vichada), as well as descriptions of behavior and vocalizations and potential threats to this species in the region.
