Description
The eastern woodhaunter (Automolus subulatus), also known as the Amazonian woodhaunter, is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae. It was formerly treated as conspecific with the western woodhaunter and when lumped had the name "striped woodhaunter". It is found in the western part of the Amazon rainforest: west Brazil, southeast Colombia, east Ecuador, northeast Peru, south Venezuela and north Bolivia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The species nests in earth tunnels. At one time the species was included in the genus Hyloctistes but molecular phylogenetic studies showed that Hyloctistes was embedded within Automolus. Two subspecies are recognised: Automolus subulatus lemae (Phelps & Phelps Jr, 1960) – southcentral and southeast Venezuela Automolus subulatus subulatus (von Spix, 1824) – southeast Colombia, west Brazil and north Bolivia

Habitat
Striped Woodhaunter typically reside in tropical evergreen forests that are subject to flooding, such as terra firme and várzea. These birds are also found in areas of dense secondary growth rich in vine tangles and may be locally present in lower montane forests. They are often associated with streams and the interior parts of forests and can also inhabit areas around treefall gaps and swamps.
