Abstract

The Cipó Canastero (Asthenes luizae) is a recently described species from the Espinhaço Range, southeastern Brazil. We describe the nest, eggs, and nestlings of this species. Six nests were found in four different territories, two of which were active. All nests were in Vellozia nivea (Velloziaceae). Mean measurements were: height above ground = 21.8 cm, entrance diameter = 4.3 cm, nest length = 23.5 cm, nest height = 23.3 cm, and nest width = 20.3 cm. Both active nests were parasitized by Shiny Cowbirds (Molothrus bonariensis).
