Subspecies
No subspecies.

May be ancestral to all other Dendrocolaptidae; syrinx structure differs from that of all others, and genus is one of very few not infested by Platyacarus feather mites. Characters ascribed to proposed subspecies meridionalis (from La Pampa, in Argentina) appear to reflect largely individual variation.
