Pseudoseisuropsis Cuelloi
''Pseudoseisuropsis'' is a genus of extinct birds in the ovenbird family from the Pleistocene of Argentina and Uruguay. The genus was described in 1991 based on disarticulated skeletal elements and a nearly-complete skull. Although originally believed to be closely related to the extant genus '' Pseudoseisura'', phylogenetic analyses suggested a more basal origin within the family.

Pleistocene
The Pleistocene ( ; referred to colloquially as the ''ice age, Ice Age'') is the geological epoch (geology), epoch that lasted from to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations. Before a change was finally confirmed in 2009 by the International Union of Geological Sciences, the cutoff of the Pleistocene and the preceding Pliocene was regarded as being 1.806 million years Before Present (BP). Publications from earlier years may use either definition of the period. The end of the Pleistocene corresponds with the end of the last glacial period and also with the end of the Paleolithic age used in archaeology. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek () 'most' and (; Latinized as ) 'new'. The aridification and cooling trends of the preceding Neogene were continued in the Pleistocene. The climate was strongly variable depending on the glacial cycle, oscillating between cold Glacial period, glacial periods and warmer Interglacial, int ...

Ovenbird
The ovenbird (''Seiurus aurocapilla'') is a small songbird of the New World warbler family (biology), family (Parulidae). This bird migration, migratory bird breeds in eastern North America and winters in Central America, many List of Caribbean islands, Caribbean islands, Florida and northern Venezuela. Taxonomy The genus ''Seiurus'' is currently treated as monotypic, containing only the ovenbird; it is genetics, genetically distinct from all other species in the family Parulidae, probably the first genus to evolve separately from the rest of the family. Before the recent genetic studies were carried out, the waterthrushes were also included in ''Seiurus''; these are now treated separately in the genus ''Parkesia'' as they are not very closely related to the ovenbird. The species name ''aurocapilla'' is a noun phrase, so the original spelling is retained, not changed according to the gender of the genus name; Linnaeus originally named it ''Motacilla aurocapilla'', and the endin ...

Pseudoseisura
The cacholotes are four species of relatively large, heavy-billed furnariids in the genus ''Pseudoseisura''. They are found in shrubby habitats in the South American countries of Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. They are essentially brown (ranging from deep rufous to pale gray-brown depending on species), and all are crested to some extent. Taxonomy The genus ''Pseudoseisura'' was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the white-throated cacholote. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''pseudos'' meaning "false" and ''seisoura'', a bird mentioned by the Greek lexicologist Hesychius of Alexandria and believed to be a wagtail ''Motacilla''. Species The genus contains four extant species: The allopatric Caatinga and gray-crested cacholotes were formerly considered conspecific under the name rufous cacholote (''Pseudoseisura cristata'').
