List of species
The following are species recognized by the International Ornithologists' Union as being members of this genus.[2]
- Scale-throated earthcreeper (Upucerthia dumetaria)
- Patagonian forest earthcreeper (Upucerthia saturatior)
- White-throated earthcreeper (Upucerthia albigula)
- Buff-breasted earthcreeper (Upucerthia validirostris)
- Plain-breasted earthcreeper (Upucerthia validirostris jelskii)
The Patagonian forest earthcreeper, described as a distinct species in 1900 but soon lumped as a subspecies of the scale-throated earthcreeper, was designated as a distinct species again in the early 2000s. This determination was based on differences in its morphology, song, breeding habitat, and migration patterns.[7]
