Since 2005, the Brazilian Ornithological Records Committee (CBRO) has published updated checklists of birds almost every year. Herein, we present a completely new and annotated version our checklist. For first time, list all bird subspecies known from Brazil that are currently accepted by at least one key ornithological reference work. The inclusion should be seen as synthesis, not taxonomic endorsement. As such, include in checklist 1919 avian species, 910 which treated polytypic works (2042 subspecies), totaling 3051 taxa species level. We anticipate several included may subject to future upgrades status, while others will probably shown invalid light studies. results highlight megadiverse country reinforce need for proper enforcement political tools, laws international commitments assumed preserve its biodiversity.
