Phacellodomus is the genus of thornbirds, birds in the family Furnariidae. They are found in woodland, shrubland and grassland, often near water, in South America.

Taxonomy

The genus Phacellodomus was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the rufous-fronted thornbird.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek phakellos meaning "bundle of twigs" and domos meaning "house".[3]

Species

The genus contains ten species:[4]

Rufous-fronted thornbird, Phacellodomus rufifrons
Plain thornbird, Phacellodomus inornatus (split from P. rufifrons)
Streak-fronted thornbird, Phacellodomus striaticeps
Little thornbird, Phacellodomus sibilatrix
Chestnut-backed thornbird, Phacellodomus dorsalis
Spot-breasted thornbird, Phacellodomus maculipectus
Freckle-breasted thornbird, Phacellodomus striaticollis
Greater thornbird, Phacellodomus ruber
Orange-eyed thornbird, Phacellodomus erythrophthalmus
Orange-breasted thornbird, Phacellodomus ferrugineigula – formerly a subspecies of P. erythrophthalmus.[5]
