Abstract

We report two new localities for the Crescent-faced Antpitta Grallaricula lineiforns in high Andean forests of the municipalities of Génova and Pijao, department of Quindío, Colombia. We mist-netted two individuals at 3400 and 3550m respectively, measured and photographed them, and recorded habitat features. The specie is considered vulnerable (VU), although the scarcity of data makes it difficult to asses its actual status. The new localities represent a significant northward extension of its known range, from the department of Cauca to the department of Quindío.
