Ovenbirds (Furnariidae)
Band-tailed Earthcreeper (Eremobius phoenicurus) - HBW 8, p. 249
French: Upucerthie rougequeue
German: Schwarzschwanz-Erdhacker
Spanish: Bandurrita Patagona
Taxonomy: Eremobius phoenicurus Gould, 1839, Port Desire, San Julián and Santa Cruz, east coast of Patagonia, Argentina.
Morphology suggests closest relationship to genus Upucerthia, but nest type is very different; considered by some authors to be closer to Cinclodes. Nest structure, however, suggests possible relationship to such genera as Phacellodomus, Synallaxis, Pseudoseisura and Asthenes, and plumage coloration, especially tail pattern, vaguely recalls those of some species in Asthenes. Monotypic.
Distribution: SW Argentina (Neuquén and Río Negro S to Santa Cruz) and extreme S Chile (NE Magallanes).
