October 2008
The White-banded Tanager is distributed in the interior of Brazil south and east of the Amazon Basin and into adjacent areas of Bolivia and Paraguay. It is found in cerrado habitat.
It is almost always in pairs usually gleaning insect prey from the branches and leaves of the cerrado bushes and trees.
It is classified as Near Threatened by Birdlife International given its relative scarcity and the rapid disappearance of the cerrado habitat.
