Margarornis is a genus of passerine birds in the ovenbird family Furnariidae. They are found in South and Middle America. All four species in the genus have "treerunner" in their English name.

Taxonomy[]

The genus Margarornis was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach.^[1] The name combines the Ancient Greek margaron meaning "pearl" with ornis meaning "bird".^[2] The type species was designated by George Robert Gray in 1855 as Sittasomus perlatus Lesson. This taxon is now considered to be a subspecies of the pearled treerunner (Margarornis squamiger perlatus).^[3]^[4]

Species[]

The genus contains four species:^[5]

Ruddy treerunner, Margarornis rubiginosus
Star-chested treerunner, Margarornis stellatus
Beautiful treerunner, Margarornis bellulus
Pearled treerunner, Margarornis squamiger

The white-throated treerunner is placed in the monotypic genus Pygarrhichas.^[5]
