Thripophaga
''Thripophaga'' is a genus of birds that popularly are known as softtails. They are members of the ovenbird family, Furnariidae. They are found in wooded and shrubby habitats, sometimes near water, in South America. Taxonomy and systematics Softtails are closely related to ''Cranioleuca'' spinetails and the generic limits between these two genera were not clear in the past. For example, the Russet-mantled Softtail, despite its English name, is a true ''Cranioleuca'' spinetail, and the speckled spinetail turned out to be part of ''Thripophaga''. Previous speculations suggesting a close relationship between ''Thripophaga'' and ''Phacellodomus'' were disproved. Extant species The genus contains five species: * Speckled spinetail (''Thripophaga gutturata'') * Orinoco softtail (''Thripophaga cherriei'') * Delta Amacuro softtail (''Thripophaga amacurensis'') * Striated softtail (''Thripophaga macroura'') * Plain softtail The plain softtail (''Thripophaga fusciceps'') is a speci ...

Delta Amacuro Softtail
The Delta Amacuro softtail (''Thripophaga amacurensis'') is a Vulnerable species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to the southern Orinoco Delta in northeastern Venezuela.Clements, J. F., P.C. Rasmussen, T. S. Schulenberg, M. J. Iliff, T. A. Fredericks, J. A. Gerbracht, D. Lepage, A. Spencer, S. M.

Plain Softtail
The plain softtail (''Thripophaga fusciceps'') is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru. Taxonomy and systematics The plain softtail was at times placed by some authors in genus ''Phacellodomus''. The species has three subspecies, the nominate ''T. f. fusciceps'' ( Sclater, PL, 1889), ''T. f. dimorpha'' ( Bond, J & Meyer de Schauensee, 1941), and ''T. f. obidensis'' (Todd, 1925). Because the subspecies are different sizes and are geographically much separated, some authors speculate that they should be treated as full species.Remsen, Jr., J. V. (2020). Plain Softtail (''Thripophaga fusciceps''), version 1.0. In Birds of the World (J. del Hoyo, A. Elliott, J. Sargatal, D. A. Christie, and E. de Juana, Editors).

Ovenbird (family)
Ovenbirds or furnariids are a large family of small suboscine passerine birds found from Mexico and Central to southern South America. They form the family Furnariidae. This is a large family containing around 315 species and 70 genera. The ovenbird (''Seiurus aurocapilla''), which breeds in North America, is not a furnariid – rather it is a distantly related bird of the wood warbler family, Parulidae. The ovenbirds are a diverse group of insectivores which get their name from the elaborate, vaguely "oven-like" clay nests built by the horneros, although most other ovenbirds build stick nests or nest in tunnels or clefts in rock.Remsen, J. V., Jr. 2003. Family Furnariidae (ovenbirds). Pages 162–357 in J. del Hoyo, A. Elliott and D. A. Christie eds. Handbook of the birds of the world, Vol. 8, broadbills to tapaculos. Lynx Edicions, Barcelona. The Spanish word for "oven" ''(horno)'' gives the horneros their name. Furnariid nests are always constructed with a cover, and up to six ...

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Phacellodomus
''Phacellodomus'' is the genus of thornbirds, birds in the family Furnariidae. They are found in woodland, shrubland and grassland, often near water, in South America. Taxonomy The genus ''Phacellodomus'' was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the rufous-fronted thornbird. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ''phakellos'' meaning "bundle of twigs" and ''domos'' meaning "house". Species The genus contains ten species: * Rufous-fronted thornbird, ''Phacellodomus rufifrons'' * Plain thornbird, ''Phacellodomus inornatus'' (split from ''P. rufifrons'') * Streak-fronted thornbird, ''Phacellodomus striaticeps'' * Little thornbird, ''Phacellodomus sibilatrix'' * Chestnut-backed thornbird, ''Phacellodomus dorsalis'' * Spot-breasted thornbird, ''Phacellodomus maculipectus'' * Freckle-breasted thornbird, ''Phacellodomus striaticollis'' * Greater thornbird, ''Phacellodomus ruber'' * Orange-eyed thornbird, ''Phacellodomus erythrophthal ...

Jean Cabanis
Jean Louis Cabanis (8 March 1816 – 20 February 1906) was a German ornithologist. Cabanis was born in Berlin to an old Huguenot family who had moved from France. Little is known of his early life. He studied at the University of Berlin from 1835 to 1839, and then travelled to North America, returning in 1841 with a large natural history collection. He was assistant and later director of the Natural History Museum of Berlin (which was at the time the Berlin University Museum), taking over from Martin Lichtenstein. He founded the ''Journal für Ornithologie'' in 1853, editing it for the next forty-one years, when he was succeeded by his son-in-law Anton Reichenow. He died in Friedrichshagen. A number of birds are named after him, including Cabanis's bunting ''Emberiza cabanisi'', Cabanis's spinetail ''Synallaxis cabanisi'', Azure-rumped tanager The azure-rumped tanager or Cabanis's tanager (''Poecilostreptus cabanisi'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae.
