Dendroplex
''Dendroplex'' is a genus of birds in the woodcreeper subfamily Dendrocolaptinae. It was long merged into ''Xiphorhynchus'', but its distinctness has now been established. Taxonomy The genus ''Dendroplex'' was introduced in 1827 by the English naturalist William Swainson. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ''dendron'' meaning "tree" with ''plēssō'' meaning "to strike". Swainson did not specify a type species but this was fixed in 2007 as the straight-billed woodcreeper which had first been described in 1788 by Johann Friedrich Gmelin with the binomial name ''Oriolus picus''.

Straight-billed Woodcreeper
The straight-billed woodcreeper (''Dendroplex picus'') is a species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Panama, Trinidad, and in every mainland South American country except Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.Chesser, R. T., S. M. Billerman, K. J. Burns, C. Cicero, J. L. Dunn, B. E.

Zimmer's Woodcreeper
Zimmer's woodcreeper (''Dendroplex kienerii'') is a Near Threatened species of bird in the subfamily Dendrocolaptinae of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, G. Del-Rio, A. Jaramillo, D. F. Lane, M. B. Robbins, F. G. Stiles, and K. J. Zimmer.

In 1934 Zimmer described what he believed was a new species, naming it ''Xiphorhynchus necopinus''. By 2002 it was realized that the species was actually the earlier-described ''D. kienerii'', so by the principle of priority, the specific epithet reverted to ''kienerii''. In the 1950s genus ''Dendroplex'' had been merged into genus ''Xyphorhynchus'' but in the early 2000s it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dendrocolaptinae
The woodcreepers (Dendrocolaptinae) comprise a subfamily of suboscine passerine birds endemic to the Neotropics. They have traditionally been considered a distinct family Dendrocolaptidae, but most authorities now place them as a subfamily of the ovenbirds (Furnariidae). They superficially resemble the Old World treecreepers, but they are unrelated and the similarities are due to convergent evolution. The subfamily contains 60 species in 16 genera. Woodcreepers range from 14 to 35 cm in length.Marantz, C. A.; Aleixo, A.; Bevier, L. R.; Patten, M. A., (2003): Family Dendrocolaptidae (Woodcreepers).

Xiphorhynchus
''Xiphorhynchus'' is a genus of birds in the woodcreeper subfamily (Dendrocolaptinae) that are found in Middle and South America. Taxonomy The genus ''Xiphorhynchus'' was introduced in 1827 by the English naturalist William Swainson. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''xiphos'' meaning "sword" with ''rhunkhos'' meaning "bill". Swainson did not specify the type species but this was subsequently designated as the ivory-billed woodcreeper. The genus contains the following 13 species: The straight-billed woodcreeper and Zimmer's woodcreeper are now separated in ''Dendroplex''.

Ancient Greek
Ancient Greek (, ; ) includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the classical antiquity, ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC. It is often roughly divided into the following periods: Mycenaean Greek (), Greek Dark Ages, Dark Ages (), the Archaic Greece, Archaic or Homeric Greek, Homeric period (), and the Classical Greece, Classical period (). Ancient Greek was the language of Homer and of fifth-century Athens, fifth-century Athenian historians, playwrights, and Ancient Greek philosophy, philosophers. It has contributed many words to English vocabulary and has been a standard subject of study in educational institutions of the Western world since the Renaissance. This article primarily contains information about the Homeric Greek, Epic and Classical periods of the language, which are the best-attested periods and considered most typical of Ancient Greek. From the Hellenistic period (), Ancient Greek was followed by Koine Greek, which is regar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Type Species
In International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature, zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological Type (biology), type wiktionary:en:specimen, specimen (or specimens). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name with that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have suc ...
