Syndactyla is a genus of foliage-gleaners, birds in the ovenbird family Furnariidae.
Taxonomy
The genus Syndactyla was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the buff-browed foliage-gleaner.[1][2] The name combines the Ancient Greek sun meaning "together" with daktulos meaning "toe".[3] Members of this genus are most closely related to the foliage-gleaners in the genus Anabacerthia.[4][5] The recurvebills, S. ucayalae and S. striatus, were formerly placed in their own genus Simoxenops,[4] and S. roraimae was formerly placed in the genus Automolus.[6]
Species
The genus contains eight species:[7]
- Lineated foliage-gleaner, Syndactyla subalaris
- Guttulate foliage-gleaner, Syndactyla guttulata
- Buff-browed foliage-gleaner, Syndactyla rufosuperciliata
- Rufous-necked foliage-gleaner, Syndactyla ruficollis
- Planalto foliage-gleaner, Syndactyla dimidiata
- Tepui foliage-gleaner, Syndactyla roraimae (formerly placed in Automolus)[6]
- Peruvian recurvebill, Syndactyla ucayalae
- Bolivian recurvebill, Syndactyla striatus
