10 Includes D. macrorhyncha, treated as a valid species by Peters (1951) [Peters, 1951 #3015]; but see Meyer de Schauensee (1966) [Meyer de Schauensee, 1966 #2676] and Fjeldså & Krabbe (1986) [Fjeldså, 1986 #14930].
11 Weakly distinct from nominate tyrannina; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
12 At least two species may be involved; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
13 For recognition see Wetmore (1972) [Wetmore, 1972 #4153] and Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
14 Considered by Sibley & Monroe (1990) [Sibley, 1990 #3636] and Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192] to form a superspecies with D. turdina, but see Weir & Price (2011) [Weir, 2011 #12888] and Derryberry et al. (2012) [Derryberry, 2012 #14327].

19 For close relationship to D. turdina see Weir & Price (2011) [Weir, 2011 #12888].
20 For treatment as a separate species from D. fuliginosa see Willis (1983) [Willis, 1983 #4223], Ridgely & Tudor (1994) [Ridgely, 1994 #3272], Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192] and Weir & Price (2011) [Weir, 2011 #12888].
21 Irestedt et al. (2004) [Irestedt, 2004 #2074], reported that Glyphorynchus is the basal taxon in the family, this was supported by Derryberry et al. (2012) [Derryberry, 2012 #14327], but not by Moyle et al. (2009) [Moyle, 2009 #11813], Derryberry et al. (2011) [Derryberry, 2011 #12852] and Ohlson et al. (2013) [Ohlson, 2013 #14349].
22 May comprise at least two species; see Marks et al. (2002) [Marks, 2002 #2496], Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192] and Fernandes et al. (2013) [Fernandes, 2013 #14335].
23 Includes sublestus; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192]. But see Wetmore (1972) [Wetmore, 1972 #4153] and Restall et al. (2006) [Restall, 2006 #12477].
24 Probably not diagnosable from castelnaudii; see Ridgely & Greenfield (2001) [Ridgely, 2001 #3274] and Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
25 Raikow (1994) [Raikow, 1994 #14931] suggested that Dendrexetastes is closely related to Campylorhamphus, contrary to their traditional placement in linear sequences, but this is refuted by genetic data; see Irestedt et al. (2004) [Irestedt, 2004 #2074] and Derryberry et al. (2012) [Derryberry, 2012 #14327].
26 Treatment as a separate species from D. certhia follows Willis (1992) [Willis, 1992 #4226]; see also Marantz (1997) [Marantz, 1997 #2483].
27 Includes nigrirostris and colombianus; see Marantz (1997) [Marantz, 1997 #2483]. Also includes legtersi Paynter, 1954 [Paynter, 1954 #2979]; see Parkes (1999) [Parkes, 1999 #2949].
28 Includes hyleorus; see Marantz (1997) [Marantz, 1997 #2483]. Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192] noted that punctipectus may deserve species rank.
29 Batista et al. (2013) [Batista, 2013 #14815] recognized all valid subspecies in the D. certhia complex as separate species, but not under BSC criteria. See also Donegan et al. (2013) [Donegan, 2013 #15409].
30 Formerly treated as a separate species, e.g. by Peters (1951) [Peters, 1951 #3015], and Meyer de Schauensee (1970) [Meyer de Schauensee, 1970 #2678]; here treated within D. certhia, following Willis & Oniki (1978) [Willis, 1978 #14932], Willis (1992) [Willis, 1992 #4226], Marantz (1997) [Marantz, 1997 #2483], and Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192]. But see Batista et al. (2013) [Baptista, 2013 #14815].
31 Includes ridgwayi; see Marantz (1997) [Marantz, 1997 #2483].
32 Subspecies group membership follows Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
33 Presumably forms a superspecies with D. hoffmannsi and D. platyrostris; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192] for summary of controversial relationships among these taxa.
34 Includes veraguensis; see Marantz (1997) [Marantz, 1997 #2483].
35 Includes extimus; see Marantz (1997) [Marantz, 1997 #2483] (the type locality of which is open to question). Also includes casaresi; see Marantz (1997) [Marantz, 1997 #2483] and Marantz & Patten (2010) [Marantz, 2010 #13581].
36 Willis & Oniki (2001) [Willis, 2001 #4228] noted that voices of the two subspecies differ strongly and suggested that intermedius may deserve species rank.
37 May comprise more than one species; see Ridgely & Tudor (1994) [Ridgely, 1994 #3272], Silva et al. (1995) [Silva, 1995 #659], Sick (1997) [Sick, 1997 #14916] and Derryberry et al. (2012) [Derryberry, 2012 #14327]. But see also Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
38 Considered by Sibley & Monroe (1990) [Sibley, 1990 #3636] to form a superspecies with H. stresemanni. Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192] suggested that vocal similarities and intermediate plumage of subspecies insignis suggests that the two could be treated as conspecific.
39 Treated as a separate species by Ridgely & Tudor (1994) [Ridgely, 1994 #3272]. Possibly not closely related to H. perrotii; see Derryberry et al. (2012) [Derryberry, 2012 #14327].
40 Described as a separate species, but see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
41 Species sequence follows Derryberry et al. (2012) [Derryberry, 2012 #14327].
42 Considered to form a superspecies with X. promeropirhynchus by Sibley & Monroe (1990) [Sibley, 1990 #3636], but see Derryberry et al. (2012) [Derryberry, 2012 #14327].
43 This name appeared on the plate but villadenovae appeared with the descriptive text; an erratum slip stated that the spelling villanovae was correct. For placement in this species see Hellmayr (1925) [Hellmayr, 1925 #1063] and Pinto (1978) [Pinto, 1978 #3092]; see also Ridgely & Tudor (1994) [Ridgely, 1994 #3272].
44 Probably comprises several species; see Ridgely & Tudor (1994) [Ridgely, 1994 #3272] and Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192]. Derryberry et al. (2012) [Derryberry, 2012 #14327] found this species paraphyletic with regard to X. falcirostris and X. major.

46 Published no earlier than Sept. 20, 1889; see Anon. (1947) [Anon., 1947 #14610].
47 Perhaps not diagnosable from fortis; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
48 Perhaps not diagnosable from nominate promeropirhynchus; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
49 Published no earlier than Feb. 5, 1890; see Anon. (1947) [Anon., 1947 #14610].
50 Includes ignotus, see Chapman (1926) [Chapman, 1926 #14933] and Ridgely & Greenfield (2001) [Ridgely, 2001 #3274]; but see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
51 Subspecies group membership uncertain; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
52 When described treated as a separate species by Silva et al. (2002) [Silva, 2002 #663].
53 Formerly treated as a separate species, e.g. by Pinto (1938) [Pinto, 1938 #12451], Peters (1951) [Peters, 1951 #3015], and Meyer de Schauensee (1970) [Meyer de Schauensee, 1970 #2678]; here placed in X. falcirostris, following Teixeira et al. (1989) [Teixeira, 1989 #3815], Teixeira (1990) [Teixeira, 1990 #15083] and Silva & Oren (1997) [Silva, 1997 #662].
54 Species sequence follows Derryberry et al. (2012) [Derryberry, 2012 #14327].
55 For reasons to transfer this species here from the genus Lepidocolaptes see García-Moreno & Silva (1997) [García-Moreno, 1997 #1652] and Aleixo (2002) [Aleixo, 2002 #42].
56 New name proposed for brevirostris Pinto, 1938, preoccupied by X. ocellatus brevirostris Zimmer, 1934, with the transfer of this species from Lepidocolaptes to Xiphorhynchus; see Longmore & Silveira (2005) [Longmore, 2005 #9412].
57 For the transfer of subspecies buenavistae, insignis and juruanus from X. spixii to X. elegans see Haffer (1997) [Haffer, 1997 #1872] and Aleixo (2002) [Aleixo, 2002 #42].
58 May not be reliably diagnosable from ornatus; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
59 The sympatry between this and juruanus reported by Todd (1948) [Todd, 1948 #3847], and noted by Peters (1951) [Peters, 1951 #3015], is almost certainly incorrect, see Haffer (1997) [Haffer, 1997 #1872].
60 May not be reliably diagnosable from juruanus; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
61 Raposo & Höfling (2003) [Raposo, 2003 #3210] considered buenavistae, insignis, and ornatus to represent geographic variation within juruanus.
62 Forms a superspecies with X. elegans; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
63 Probably comprises more than one species; see Aleixo (2002) [Aleixo, 2002 #42], Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192] and Sousa-Neves et al. (2013) [Sousa-Neves, 2013 #14856].
64 Subspecies groups based on the molecular data presented in Sousa-Neves et al. (2013) [Sousa-Neves, 2013 #14856]. See also Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
65 For treatment as a separate species, with subspecies napensis and brevirostris, see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
66 Validity of this subspecies questioned; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192]. Taxon not sampled by Sousa-Neves et al. (2013) [Sousa-Neves, 2013 #14856].
67 This population accepted as diagnosably distinct from nominate ocellatus by Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192] who employed the name weddellii, one of the synonyms listed by Peters (1951) [Peters, 1951 #3015].
68 Penhallurick & Aleixo (2008) [Penhallurick, 2008 #10693] concluded that the type locality of weddellii was vague and was at best inappropriate for this taxon and advanced the name beauperthuysii (here adopted), another listed synonym with a type locality in NE Peru.
69 May deserve elevation to species rank; see Sousa-Neves et al. (2013) [Sousa-Neves, 2013 #14856].

88 Considered by Sibley & Monroe (1990) [Sibley, 1990 #3636] to form a superspecies with X. erythropygius.
89 Possibly indistinguishable from bangsi; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
90 Formerly included in Xiphorhynchus, but see Wetmore (1972) [Wetmore, 1972 #4153] and Aleixo et al. (2007) [Aleixo, 2007 #9432] where type species re-identified and fixed under Art. 70.3 of the Code (I.C.Z.N., 1999) [I.C.Z.N., 1999 #2059].
91 Original spelling phalara; but adjectival and thus misformed with masculine Dendroplex.
92 Doubtfully distinct from picirostris; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].
93 May deserve treatment as a separate species; see Restall et al. (2006) [Restall, 2006 #12477].
94 Includes bahiae and rufescens; see Marantz et al. (2003) [Marantz, 2003 #12192].

110 Des Murs, usually credited with authorship of this name, gave Lafresnaye's description within quotation marks.
111 Raikow (1994) [Raikow, 1994 #14931] suggested that Drymornis was basal to all other woodcreeper genera, but genetic data in Claramunt et al. (2010) [Claramunt, 2010 #12330] and Derryberry et al. (2012) [Derryberry, 2012 #14327] indicate that this is not the case and that it is the sister genus of Drymotoxeres.
