Ovenbirds (Furnariidae)
Sharp-tailed Streamcreeper (Lochmias nematura) - HBW 8, p. 353
French: Picerthie de Saint-Hilaire
German: Flussufer-Stachelschwanz
Spanish: Riachuelero
Other common names: Streamside Streamcreeper/Lochmias, Sharp-tailed Creeper/Lochmias
Taxonomy: Myiothera nematura M. H. K. Lichtenstein, 1823, São Paulo, Brazil.
Genus thought by some authors to be possibly closer to Margarornis and other more arboreal furnariids on basis of similarities in colour pattern, and that traditional placement near Sclerurus reflects morphological convergence resulting from terrestrial habits. Analyses of DNA-sequence data, however, indicate that it is more closely related to Upucerthia and Furnarius. Sight records from W Guyana presumed to pertain to race castanonotus. Population from W Andes of Colombia, known from perhaps only one specimen (greyer below than sororius), may represe.. View all taxonomy...
