Abstract

We present a new record and eating habits of Phytotoma raimondii Taczanowski, 1883 (Passeriformes: Cotingidae), “Peruvian plantcutter" in Jolluco Alto, Cascas District, Gran Chimu Province, La Libertad Region, between 658 and 674 m of altitude, from April to September 2015. We showed that in addition to young buds of several shrubs that this species uses as alimentary resource, it also feeds on mature fruits of shrubs from the surroundings according to the plant phenological stage. In Jolluco Alto forest, it was verified that it feeds mainly on mature fruits of Vallesia glabra (Cav.) Link (Apocynaceae) “cuncuno". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
