Lepidocolaptes is a genus of birds in the ovenbird family Furnariidae. These are relatively small woodcreepers (subfamily Dendrocolaptinae) with fairly long, thin and slightly decurved bills.

Taxonomy[]

The genus Lepidocolaptes was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach.^[1] The name combines the Ancient Greek lepis meaning "scale" with kolaptēs meaning "pecker".^[2] The type species was designated as the scaled woodcreeper by George Robert Gray in 1855.^[3]^[4]

Species[]

The genus contains 11 species:^[5]

White-striped woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes leucogaster)
Streak-headed woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes souleyetii)
Narrow-billed woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes angustirostris)
Spot-crowned woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes affinis)
Montane woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes lacrymiger)
Scaled woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes squamatus)
Scalloped woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes falcinellus)
Guianan woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes albolineatus)
Duida woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes duidae)
Inambari woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes fatimalimae)
Dusky-capped woodcreeper (Lepidocolaptes fuscicapillus) (formerly named Rondonia woodcreeper)

The lesser woodcreeper was formerly included in this genus, but is now in Xiphorhynchus.
