Woodhaunter

Automolus is a genus of bird in the Furnariidae family.

Taxonomy
The Tepui Foliage-gleaner has been placed in this genus, but behavior, voice, and morphology all point to it belonging in Syndactyla, and molecular data confirmed this hypothesis.

The Striped Woodhaunter was formerly placed in its own genus Hyloctistes but molecular evidence proved that it belongs into Automolus Meanwhile, the Ruddy Foliage-gleaner and the Santa Marta Foliage-gleaner, formerly placed in Automolus, are actually more closelly related to Clibanornis foliage-gleaners.

Another IOC/Ridgely-Tudor (2009) change is to split Striped Woodhaunter, Automolus subulatus, into Western Woodhaunter, Automolus virgatus and Eastern Woodhaunter, Automolus subulatus.
