Woodcreepers (Dendrocolaptidae)
Black-striped Woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus lachrymosus) - HBW 8, p. 433
French: Grimpar maillé
German: Schwarzrücken-Baumsteiger
Spanish: Trepatroncos Pinto
Taxonomy: Dendrornis lachrymosus Lawrence, 1862, no locality = Atlantic side of Isthmus of Panama, along line of Panama Railroad, Canal Zone, Panama.
Sister-species relationship with X. flavigaster has been suggested on basis of molecular data. Race eximius synonymized with nominate by most recent authors, but this resulted in part from apparently mistaken belief that specimens from Caribbean slope in W Panama represented eximius instead of nominate. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- lachrymosus (Lawrence, 1862) - Caribbean slope of Central America in E Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama (locally also Pacific slope from Canal Zone E to Darién), also W Colombia (in lower Atrato Valley and along Pacific coast) and NW Ecuador (S to N Pichincha, once to N Manabí).
- eximius (Hellmayr, 1903) - Pacific slope of SW Costa Rica and adjacent W Panama.
- alarum Chapman, 1915 - lowlands of N Colombia (valleys of upper R Sinú, lower R Cauca and middle R Magdalena E to Santander).
