The spot-throated woodcreeper (Certhiasomus stictolaemus) is a species of bird in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily. It is the only species in the genus Certhiasomus (i.e. the genus is monotypic). It was formerly included in Deconychura together with the long-tailed woodcreeper, but the two are not closely related.[2]

It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

It has three subspecies:

  • Certhiasomus stictolaemus secundus of Southern Colombia, Southern Venezuela; South Amazonas, NE Ecuador, NE Peru, NW Brazil; east to Rio Negro & Rio Madeira
  • Certhiasomus stictolaemus clarior of Brazil: from Rio Negro east to Amapá, French Guiana, Guyana
