Thripadectes is a genus of Neotropical birds in the ovenbird family Furnariidae.
Taxonomy
The genus was established by Philip Sclater in 1862 with the flammulated treehunter as the type species.[1] The name Thripadectes is a combination of the Greek words thrips or thripos, meaning "woodworm" and dēktēs, meaning "biter" (from daknō, meaning "to bite").[2]
The genus contains seven species:[3]
- Flammulated treehunter, Thripadectes flammulatus
- Striped treehunter, Thripadectes holostictus
- Uniform treehunter, Thripadectes ignobilis
- Black-billed treehunter, Thripadectes melanorhynchus
- Streak-breasted treehunter, Thripadectes rufobrunneus
- Peruvian treehunter, Thripadectes scrutator
- Streak-capped treehunter, Thripadectes virgaticeps
