Automolus is a genus of bird in the ovenbird family Furnariidae.
Taxonomy
The genus Automolus was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the taxon Sphenura sulphurascens Lichtenstein, now treated as a subspecies of the white-eyed foliage-gleaner. [1] [2] The name is from the Ancient Greek automolos meaning "deserter". [3]
Species
The genus contains 11 species: [4]
- Chestnut-crowned foliage-gleaner, Automolus rufipileatus
- Brown-rumped foliage-gleaner, Automolus melanopezus
- Ochre-throated foliage-gleaner, Automolus ochrolaemus
- Fawn-throated foliage-gleaner, Automolus cervinigularis
- Chiriqui foliage-gleaner, Automolus exsertus – split from buff-throated foliage-gleaner
- Eastern woodhaunter, Automolus subulatus – formerly in Hyloctistes (previously striped woodhaunter)
- Western woodhaunter, Automolus virgatus – split from eastern woodhaunter
- Olive-backed foliage-gleaner, Automolus infuscatus
- Para foliage-gleaner, Automolus paraensis
- Pernambuco foliage-gleaner, Automolus lammi – split from white-eyed foliage-gleaner [5]
- White-eyed foliage-gleaner, Automolus leucophthalmus
The tepui foliage-gleaner has been placed in this genus, but behavior, voice, and morphology all point to it belonging in Syndactyla, [6] and molecular data confirmed this hypothesis. [7]
The eastern woodhaunter was formerly placed in its own genus Hyloctistes but molecular evidence showed that it was nested in Automolus. [8] The ruddy foliage-gleaner and the Santa Marta foliage-gleaner, formerly placed in Automolus, are actually more closely related to Clibanornis foliage-gleaners. [8]
