Xiphorhynchus is a genus of birds in the woodcreeper subfamily (Dendrocolaptinae) that are found in Middle and South America.
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]The genus Xiphorhynchus was introduced in 1827 by the English naturalist William Swainson.[1] The name combines the Ancient Greek ξίφος (xíphos), meaning "sword", and ῥύγχος (rhúnkhos), meaning "snout, bill".[2] Swainson did not specify the type species but this was subsequently designated as the ivory-billed woodcreeper.[3]
The genus contains the following 13 species:[4]
