Berlepsch's canastero (Asthenes berlepschi) is a Near Threatened species bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae.
[3][4] A study with genetic data for many canasteros and other ovenbirds published in 2011 did not include Berlepshch's.
[2] The species' common name and specific epithet commemorate the German ornithologist and collector Hans von Berlepsch.
Their iris is brown, their maxilla dark, their mandible gray, and their legs and feet blue-gray.
It is found only in the valley of the Consata River and its tributaries in north-central La Paz Department.
It primarily inhabits semi-arid montane scrublands and frequently occurs in vegetation around pastures, farm, and human habitations.
It forages singly or in pairs, apparently gleaning prey from the ground and low vegetation.
