ResumoWe describe a striking new species of Grallaria antpitta from wet, upper sub-tropical forest in the upper Río Chinchipe drainage, provincia Zamora-Chinchipe, Ecuador Notes on its natural history and molecular systematics are presented along with spectrograms of its voice. The species is readily diagnosed by its large size, unique white facial markings, and voice. Initial results from DNA sequence analyses place the new species in a well-supported clade that includes Grallaria nuchalis (which is syntopic with the new species), G. hypoleuca, G. watkinsi, and G. ruficapilla.
