Source-derived summary

The cinnamon-throated woodcreeper (Dendrexetastes rufigula) is a sub-oscine passerine bird in subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.

Taxonomy and systematics

The cinnamon-throated woodcreeper is the only member of genus Dendrexetastes. Four subspecies are recognized:

D. r. devillei (Lafresnaye, 1850)

D. r. rufigula (Lesson, RP, 1844)

D. r. moniliger Zimmer, JT, 1934

D. r. paraensis Lorenz von Liburnau, L, 1895

Subspecies D. r. devillei has been proposed as a separate species but differs little from the others in voice.

The cinnamon-throated woodcreeper is genetically most closely related to the long-billed woodcreeper (Nasica longirostris).

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Cinnamon-throated woodcreeper” as species of bird. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Cinnamon-throated, woodcreeper and species.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1850, 1844, 1934, 1895—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Cinnamon-throated, woodcreeper and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Cinnamon-throated woodcreeper”, the useful work is to connect “species of bird” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q595838. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1850, 1844, 1934 and 1895.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
