NEW RECORDS OF Neocrex erythrops (SCLATER, 1867) (BIRD, RALLIDAE) IN BRASÍLIA, FEDERAL DISTRICT, BRAZIL
Keywords:
distribution, neotropics, Cerrado biome, railsAbstract
We report two new records of paint-billed crake Neocrex erythrops (Sclater, 1867) (Birds, Rallidae), in the Federal District, central-western region of Brazil. The first record occurred on February 10, 2024, after a night of torrential rain, in a residential area and, after being photographed the bird was released. The second record occurred on April 19, 2024, after the bird was found dead near a six-story building in the urban center of Brasília. Given the scarcity of records, these records help elucidate a gap in the distribution and period of occurrence of this species in the Cerrado biome and central region of Brazil.
