Syndactyla is a genus of foliage-gleaners, birds in the ovenbird family Furnariidae.
The genus Syndactyla was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the buff-browed foliage-gleaner. [1] [2] The name combines the Ancient Greek sun meaning "together" with daktulos meaning "toe". [3] Members of this genus are most closely related to the foliage-gleaners in the genus Anabacerthia. [4] [5] The recurvebills, S. ucayalae and S. striata, were formerly placed in their own genus Simoxenops, [4] and S. roraimae was formerly placed in the genus Automolus. [6]
The genus contains eight species: [7]
