The infraorder Furnariides is a diverse group of suboscine passerine birds comprising a substantial component of the Neotropical avifauna. The included species encompass a broad array of morphologies and behaviours, making them appealing for evolutionary studies, but the size of the group (ca. 600 species) has limited well‐sampled higher‐level phylogenetic studies. Using DNA sequence data from the nuclear RAG‐1 and RAG‐2 exons, we undertook a phylogenetic analysis of the Furnariides sampling…

It is shown that M. gularis represents a long branch in the tribe Thamnophilini that is not closely related to any other member of the Myrmotherula complex, and its relationships within the tribe remain uncertain because of the lack of phylogenetic resolution at the base of the tribe.

Evidence is presented that only two diagnosable vocal characters may be sufficient for two populations to be considered distinct species in this group of trans-Andean Myrmeciza antbirds, and proposed elevating the Magdalena Antbird to species rank and thus that four species be recognized in the M. laemosticta complex.

A phylogeny of 42 species representing the 13 genera of woodcreepers was constructed by means of a numerical-cladistic analysis of morphological characters from the hindlimb muscles, bill, nostrils, feet, and tail, but the characters used did not effectively delineate relationships between species in the large genera Lepidocolaptes and Xiphorhynchus.

A robust phylogeny estimate for the family Furnariidae (sensu lato) was obtained using sequences of two nuclear introns and one mitochondrial gene (cyt b), contrary to the widely accepted sister-group relationship of ovenbirds and woodcreepers, a basal clade is suggested for Sclerurus and Geositta, while Xenops was found to occupy a basal position on the woodcreeper lineage.
