Woodcreepers (Dendrocolaptidae)
Tschudi's Woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus chunchotambo) - HBW 8, p. 425
French: Grimpar de Tschudi
German: Bartstreif-Baumsteiger
Spanish: Trepatroncos de Tschudi
Taxonomy: Dendrocolaptes Chunchotambo Tschudi, 1844, Chanchamayo Valley, Junín, Peru.
Molecular data support placement as sister to clade including X. ocellatus and X. pardalotus. Considered conspecific with X. ocellatus by most recent authors, but differs morphologically and genetically, supporting treatment by earlier authors as a separate species; race napensis allied with X. ocellatus by some authors, but external morphology supports original treatment as a race of present species. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- napensis Chapman, 1924 - lower Andean slopes and adjacent Amazonian lowlands from S Colombia (SE Nariño, W Caquetá) S to NE Peru (S to R Marañón).
