Taxonomy
The genus was established by Philip Sclater in 1862 with the flammulated treehunter as the type species.[1] The name Thripadectes is a combination of the Greek words thrips or thripos, meaning "woodworm" and dēktēs, meaning "biter" (from daknō, meaning "to bite").[2]
The genus contains seven species:[3]
