SUBTRIBE RHINOCRYPTINA ( WETMORE, 1926) ,

NEW RANK

Type genus: Rhinocrypta G. R. Gray, 1841

Included genera: Rhinocrypta and Teledromas .

Diagnosis.

Exclusive changes:

Char. 10.1, Maxillopalatine with a narrow shaft and a contrastingly wide plate.

Char. 15.1, Compound vomer with alinasal turbinals converging distally.

Char. 16.1, Alinasal turbinals of the compound vomer twisted dorsally.

Char. 17.1, Lateral condile of the mandibular process of the quadrate wider than the caudal end of the jugal bar.

Non-exclusive changes:

Char. 31.0, Parietal and frontal bones completely pneumatized; a reversal to a condition primitively found in all but two outgroup taxa.

Char. 32.1, Fused postorbital and zygomatic processes; convergent in the outgroup genera Melanopareia and Geositta .

Char. 40.0, Manubrium with long processes; a reversal – convergent in Scelorchilus – to a condition primitively found in Liosceles and all outgroup taxa.

Bremer support for this clade: 7.

Genus Rhinocrypta G. R. Gray, 1841 (type species: Rhinomya lanceolata Geoffroy-Saint Hilaire, 1832 ).

Included species: Rhinocrypta lanceolata (Geoffroy- Saint Hilaire, 1832).

Diagnosis.

No autapomorphy identified for the genus, but it can be distinguished from its sister taxon Teledromas by the possession of a Processus vocalis wide basally and narrow cranially (char. 66.1).

Genus Teledromas Wetmore and Peters, 1922 (type species: Rhinocrypta fusca Sclater & Salvin, 1873 ). Included species: Teledromas fuscus ( Sclater & Salvin, 1873) .

Diagnosis.

Non-exclusive change:

Char. 66.0, Processus vocalis, in lateral view, relatively uniform in width.
