Ovenbirds (Furnariidae)
Streaked Tit-spinetail (Leptasthenura striata) - HBW 8, p. 267
French: Synallaxe strié
German: Rostspiegel-Meisenschlüpfer
Spanish: Tijeral Listado
Other common names: Streak-backed Tit-spinetail
Taxonomy: Synallaxis striata R. A. Philippi [Krumwiede] and Landbeck, 1863, Cordillera of Arica, “Peru” (= Chile?).
Plumage features suggest close relationship to L. pileata and L. xenothorax. Similarities in plumage to allopatric population of former have led to taxonomic confusion between the two; differences greatest where the two are sympatric, suggesting character displacement. Three subspecies recognized.

- superciliaris Hellmayr, 1932 - W Andes of W Peru (Ancash, Lima).
- albigularis Morrison, 1938 - W Andes in Huancavelica (SW Peru).
