Woodcreepers (Dendrocolaptidae)
Tyrannine Woodcreeper (Dendrocincla tyrannina) - HBW 8, p. 401
French: Grimpar tyran
German: Tyrannenbaumsteiger
Spanish: Trepatroncos Tiranino
Other common names: Large-billed/Large Tyrannine Woodcreeper (“macrorhyncha”)
Taxonomy: Dendrocops tyranninus Lafresnaye, 1851, “Santa Fe de Bogotá”.
Has been suggested as being sister-species of D. anabatina. Purported race macrorhyncha, described on basis of two specimens from E slope in N Ecuador and sometimes treated as a separate species, appears to involve aberrant individuals (larger, longer-billed, lighter and more olivaceous plumage, pale throat more conspicuous) of nominate race. Race hellmayri only marginally distinct; described race brunnea (W Ecuador) considered inseparable from nominate. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- tyrannina (Lafresnaye, 1851) - W & C Andes from C Colombia (Antioquia) S on both slopes to C Peru.
- hellmayri Cory, 1913 - E slope of E Andes in NE Colombia (Norte de Santander, Boyacá) and adjacent W Venezuela (W Táchira).
