Ovenbirds (Furnariidae)
Scaly-throated Leaftosser (Sclerurus guatemalensis) - HBW 8, p. 351
French: Sclérure écaillé
German: Fleckenbrust-Laubwender
Spanish: Tirahojas Guatemalteco
Other common names: Guatemalan Leaftosser, Scaly-throated/Guatemalan Leafscraper
Taxonomy: Tinactor guatemalensis Hartlaub, 1844, no locality = Guatemala.
This and S. caudacutus thought by most authors to be sister-species on basis of plumage similarities and parapatric ranges. Substantial individual variation in characters used to define races; suspected that all differences may be a combination of clinal and individual variation, and that naming of geographical races thus not warranted; ennosiphyllus intergrades with salvini in Atrato Valley (Colombia). Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- guatemalensis (Hartlaub, 1844) - S Mexico (from Veracruz) S to C Panama (Colón).
- salvini Salvadori & Festa, 1899 - E Panama (Panamá to Darién), NW Colombia (N Chocó) and W Ecuador (Esmeraldas S to SW Manabí, formerly to N Guayas).
- ennosiphyllus Wetmore, 1951 - N Colombia (Antioquia E to Bolívar).
