French: Synallaxe à gorge jaune

Taxonomy: Certhia cinnamomea J. F. Gmelin, 1788, no locality = Cayenne.
Some authors include Cranioleuca in present genus because of general morphological similarities, but most treat them as separate genera because of differences in nest structure. Birds from NE Colombia (N Arauca) assumed to belong to race marabinus, and those from W part of R Amazon (E to R Negro) tentatively placed with pallidus; further study needed. Proposed race albescentior, described from Carabobo, in N Venezuela, is a synonym of valencianus. Eight subspecies recognized.
