Description
The Antioquia wren (Thryophilus sernai) is a passerine from the wren family (Troglodytidae). It was discovered in March 2010 in the vicinity of the Cauca River in Antioquia, Colombia and described as a new species in 2012. The epithet commemorates the late Marco Antonio Serna Díaz (1936–1991), a Colombian naturalist from San Vicente Ferrer, Antioquia. The Antioquia wren is closely related to the rufous-and-white wren and the Niceforo's wren. It occurs on both banks of the Cauca River Canyon but it is uncommon throughout its range. Its habitat is dry forests. Principal threats to the species include habitat destruction caused by the building of the Ituango Dam. 
Feeding Habits
Antioquia Wren primarily consumes insects such as grasshoppers, beetles, bugs, and moths/butterflies. Typically found in pairs, antioquia Wren actively forages from the ground up to the subcanopy, searching through dead leaves, vines, and branches.
Habitat
The habitat of antioquia Wren typically consists of semi-deciduous forest patches with a preference for secondary growth areas. These habitats generally feature an open understory not exceeding 8 meters in height and a canopy averaging around 20 meters. The vegetation is mainly composed of plant families such as Bombacaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Meliaceae, Moraceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Mimosaceae, and Fabaceae. Antioquia Wren is also found in areas adjacent to watercourses, dry scrublands, and it occasionally utilizes fences in open areas and dense scrub near roads, although it adapts to a variety of environmental conditions.
