Abstract

We describe for the first time the nest and eggs of the Tepui (Brown-breasted) Antpitta (Myrmothera simplex). Nest structure and eggs are very similar to those described for M. simplex's extant sister species, the Thrush-like Antpitta (M. campanisona), and nests of this genus are similar to those described for other members of the ground antbirds (Formicariidae).
