Phacellodomus

Phacellodomus is the genus of thornbirds, birds in the family Furnariidae. They are found in woodlands, shrublands, and grasslands, often near water, in South America.

Taxonomy
The genus Phacellodomus was described in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the rufous-fronted thornbird. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek phakellos meaning "bundle of twigs" and domos meaning "house".

 * Streak-fronted thornbird, Phacellodomus striaticeps
 * Little thornbird, Phacellodomus sibilatrix
 * Chestnut-backed thornbird, Phacellodomus dorsalis
 * Spot-breasted thornbird, Phacellodomus maculipectus
 * Freckle-breasted thornbird, Phacellodomus striaticollis
 * Greater thornbird, Phacellodomus ruber
