Automolus is a genus of bird in the ovenbird family Furnariidae.
Taxonomy
[edit]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
[edit]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]
