The ringed antpipit (Corythopis torquatus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers.

[2] The ringed antpipit was originally described as Conopophaga torquata, a member of the gnateater family Conopophagidae.

[2][5] The ringed antpipit has three subspecies, the nominate C. t. torquatus (Tschudi, 1844), C. t. sarayacuensis (Chubb, 1918), and C. t. anthoides (Pucheran, 1855).

Subspecies C. t. sarayacuensis is the westernmost; it is found in southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and northeastern Peru.

The nominate subspecies is found in east-central and southeastern Peru, northern Bolivia, and western Brazil east to the Madeira River.

[4] The ringed antpipit feeds primarily on arthropods and occasionally includes lizards and frogs in its diet.

It usually forages alone though sometimes in pairs, never joining mixed-species feeding flocks and only occasionally attending army ant swarms.

The species' nest is a large oven-shaped dome made of moss with a lining of thin plant fibers and fungal rhizomorphs.

[1] It is considered uncommon to fairly common across its range and occurs in many protected areas both public and private.
