A small Caprimulgidae nightjar (~47 g) from coastal French Guiana and adjacent Suriname. Known from only a handful of specimens; biology essentially unknown. Mottled brown plumage presumed cryptic in leaf litter. Presumed nocturnal insectivore. Data Deficient due to extreme rarity of confirmed records in the wild.

A small Caprimulgidae nightjar (~46 g) of open scrub, grassland, and rocky slopes from Argentina northward through the Andes to Colombia. Brown-and-buff cryptic plumage with a pale wing bar. Highly vocal at night in Andean valleys. Feeds on insects aerially. Least Concern across its wide South American range.
