Phacellodomus is the genus of thornbirds, birds in the family Furnariidae. They are found in woodlands, shrublands, and grasslands, often near water, in South America.
Taxonomy
[edit ]The genus Phacellodomus was described in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the rufous-fronted thornbird.[1] [2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek phakellos meaning "bundle of twigs" and domos meaning "house".[3]
Species
[edit ]The genus contains ten species:[4]
- 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 erythrophthalmus
- Orange-breasted thornbird, Phacellodomus ferrugineigula – formerly a subspecies of P. erythrophthalmus.[5]
