Appearance
The stub-tailed antbird was described by the German ornithologist Ernst Hartert in 1898 and given the binomial name "Pyriglena berlepschi". The species was named to honour the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch. The species was later placed in the genus "Myrmeciza" but a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that the genus "Myrmeciza", as then defined, was polyphyletic. In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera the stub-tailed antbird was moved to a resurrected genus "Sipia" which had been introduced by the Austrian ornithologist Carl Eduard Hellmayr in 1924.References:
