Taxonomy

''Hylocryptus'' was a genus of

s in the family Furnariidae described by Frank Chapman in 1919. It used to include the Henna-capped foliage-gleaner, ''Hylocryptus rectirostris'', and the Henna-hooded foliage-gleaner, ''Hylocryptus erythrocephalus''. However, a new molecular phylogeny revealed that this genus was a polyphyletic group because ''H. rectirostris'' is more closely related to Canebrake groundcreeper, and ''H. erythrocephalus'' is more closely related to the Ruddy foliage-gleaner complex, a grouping also suggested by songs and morphology.Krabbe, N. (2008). ''Vocal evidence for restitution of species rank to a Santa Marta endemic: Automolus rufipectus Bangs (Furnariidae), with comments on its generic affinities''. Bull. B.O.C. 128(4): 219–227 All these species are now classified under the genus ''Clibanornis''.

Species

It contains the following species: * Canebrake groundcreeper, ''Clibanornis dendrocolaptoides'' * Ruddy foliage-gleaner, ''Clibanornis rubiginosus'' * Santa Marta foliage-gleaner, ''Clibanornis rufipectus'' * Henna-hooded foliage-gleaner, ''Clibanornis erythrocephalus'' * Henna-capped foliage-gleaner, ''Clibanornis rectirostris''
