About the Streaked Xenops

The streaked xenops (Xenops rutilans) is a passerine bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in the New World from Costa Rica and Trinidad south to Bolivia and Argentina. Early on, the streaked xenops was assigned the binomial Xenops rutilus. In the mid-1900s 1900s taxonomists began using X. rutilans. By the principle of priority, the earlier rutilus is correct, but because of the long usage of rutilans, most systems have stayed with that specific epithet. A major exception is BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW), which uses X. rutilus.

The major worldwide taxonomic systems recognize these 11 subspecies: X. r. septentrionalis Zimmer, JT, 1929 X r. Incomptus Wetmore, 1970 X. r. heterurus Cabanis & Heine, 1860 X.. r. Perijanus Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1954

X. r. phelpsi Meyer de Schauensee, 1959 X. r. guayae Hellmayr, 1920 X.. r. peruvianus Zimmer, JT, 1935 X r. connectens Chapman, 1919 X. r. purusianus Todd, 1925 X.. r. chapadensis Zimmer, JT, 1935 X. r. rutilans Temminck, 1821

The streaked xenops is about 12 to 13 cm (4.7 to 5.1 in) long and weighs 10 to 15 g... Wikipedia →
