Cyphorhinus is a genus of passerine birds in the wren family Troglodytidae that are found in South and Central America.
Taxonomy
The genus Cyphorhinus was introduced in 1844 by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis to accommodate a single species Cyphorhinus thoracicus (southern chestnut-breasted wren) that was described at the same time by Johann Jakob von Tschudi and is therefore considered as the type species.[1][2] The genus name is a combination of the Greek words kuphos, meaning "hump" or "hunch" and rhis or rhinos, meaning "nose" (or, in this case, bill). It has been emended from the earlier incarnation Cyphorhina.[3]
The genus contains four species:[4]
- Northern chestnut-breasted wren, Cyphorhinus dichrous (split from C. thoracicus)
- Southern chestnut-breasted wren, Cyphorhinus thoracicus
- Musician wren, Cyphorhinus arada
- Song wren, Cyphorhinus phaeocephalus
