Phacellodomus is the genus of thornbirds, birds in the family Furnariidae. They are found in woodland, shrubland and grassland, often near water, in South America.
Taxonomy
The genus Phacellodomus was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the rufous-fronted thornbird.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek phakellos meaning "bundle of twigs" and domos meaning "house".[3]
Species
The genus contains ten species:[4]
- Rufous-fronted thornbird, Phacellodomus rufifrons
- Plain thornbird, Phacellodomus inornatus (split from P. rufifrons)
- Streak-fronted thornbird, Phacellodomus striaticeps
- Little thornbird, Phacellodomus sibilatrix
- Chestnut-backed thornbird, Phacellodomus dorsalis
- Spot-breasted thornbird, Phacellodomus maculipectus
- Freckle-breasted thornbird, Phacellodomus striaticollis
- Greater thornbird, Phacellodomus ruber
- Orange-eyed thornbird, Phacellodomus erythrophthalmus
- Orange-breasted thornbird, Phacellodomus ferrugineigula – formerly a subspecies of P. erythrophthalmus.[5]
