curve-billed reedhaunter
limnornis curvirostris latin

The Curve-billed Reedhaunter is placed in the monotypic genus Limnornis.

However, that genus name had already been given to the Curve-billed Reedhaunter (L. curvirostris), an ovenbird.

The Curve-billed Reedhaunter (Limnornis curvirostris) is a species of bird in the Furnariidae family.

But L. rectirostris seems closer to the typical spinetails (Cranioleuca) than to the Curve-billed Reedhaunter.

The superficially similar Straight-billed Reedhaunter is sometimes also included in Limnornis, but evidence suggests it is closer to Cranioleuca spinetails than it is to the Curve-billed Reedhaunter.

Formerly it was - and in some works it still is - placed in Limnornis with the Curve-billed Reedhaunter (Limnornis curvirostris) which lives in the same general region and habitat, and thus shares some adaptations with L. rectirostris.
