Asthenes
Canasteros and thistletails are small passerine birds of South America belonging to the genus ''Asthenes''. The name "canastero" comes from Spanish and means "basket-maker", referring to the large, domed nests these species make of sticks or grass. They inhabit shrublands and grasslands in temperate climates from the lowlands to the highlands. They feed on insects and other invertebrates gleaned from the ground or the low vegetation. Taxonomy The genus ''Asthenes'' was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach. The name is from Ancient Greek ''asthenēs'' meaning "insignificant". The type species was designated by George Robert Gray in 1855 as ''Synallaxis sordida'' Lesson. This taxon is now considered to be a subspecies of the sharp-billed canastero (''Asthenes pyrrholeuca sordida''). In 2010, it was discovered that the thistletails and the Itatiaia spinetail, formerly placed in their own genera (''Schizoeaca'' and ''Oreophylax'', respectively), are actu ...

They and several other species were in genus ''Schizoeaca'' but genetic data showed that the genus is embedded within ''Asthenes''.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, G.

Sharp-billed Canastero
The sharp-billed canastero or lesser canastero (''Asthenes pyrrholeuca'') is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae, the ovenbirds. The sharp-billed canastero is a resident breeding species in central and southern Argentina and the eastern border Andean cordillera of Chile; some birds migrate north as far as the southwest border of Paraguay, the southern border region of Bolivia, and western Uruguay, in the austral winter. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, and temperate grassland. Two subspecies are recognized: *''Asthenes pyrrholeuca pyrrholeuca'' (Vieillot Louis Pierre Vieillot (10 May 1748, Yvetot – 24 August 1830, Sotteville-lès-Rouen) was a French ornithologist.

White-chinned Thistletail
The white-chinned thistletail, or colicardo barbiblanco in Ecuador, (''Asthenes fuliginosa'') is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Taxonomy and systematics The white-chinned thistletail has four subspecies: * ''A. f. fuliginosa'' ( Lafresnaye, 1843) * ''A. f. fumigata'' ( Borrero, 1960) * ''A. f. peruviana'' (Cory, 1916) * ''A. f. plengei'' (O'Neill & Parker, 1976) What are now several other individual species of thistletail were previously also treated as subspecies of the white-chinned thistletail. All of them were in genus ''Schizoeaca'' but genetic data showed that the genus is embedded within ''Asthenes''. In addition, the mouse-colored thistletail (''A. griseomurina'') possibly should be treated as a fifth subspecies of the white-chinned.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, G.

Vilcabamba Thistletail
The Vilcabamba thistletail (''Asthenes vilcabambae'') is a species of bird in the family Furnariidae. It is endemic to the Vilcabamba Mountains of Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland. The Ayacucho thistletail was at one time considered to be a subspecies of the Vilcabamba thistletail. A phylogenetic study published in 2015 that examined both DNA sequence data and vocalization recordings of members of the genus ''Asthenes'' found that the Ayacucho thistletail was more similar to the eye-ringed thistletail than it was to the Vilcabamba thistletail. Based on this evidence the subspecies ''A. v. ayacuchensis'' was elevated to species rank.
