The foraging treeweaver (Dinemellia dinemelli ceripana) is a species of passerine bird found across the Sea of Velar. It inhabits equatorial rainforests in the Isles of Velar, with its range extending from Idisamo to the Olahu Peninsula. Its diet consists chiefly of insects foraged from the ground. Its habit of building intricate nests with interwoven twigs has earned it the name treeweaver, while its specific name, ceripana, refers to the island of Kerypa where it was first documented.
