Automolus is a genus of bird in the ovenbird family Furnariidae.
Taxonomy

The genus Automolus was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the taxon Sphenura sulphurascens Lichtenstein, now treated as a subspecies of the white-eyed foliage-gleaner.[1][2] The name is from the Ancient Greek automolos meaning "deserter".[3]
Species

The genus contains 10 species:[4]

Chestnut-crowned foliage-gleaner, Automolus rufipileatus
Brown-rumped foliage-gleaner, Automolus melanopezus
Buff-throated foliage-gleaner, Automolus ochrolaemus
Chiriqui foliage-gleaner, Automolus exsertus – split from buff-throated foliage-gleaner
Eastern woodhaunter, Automolus subulatus – formerly in Hyloctistes (previously striped woodhaunter)
Western woodhaunter, Automolus virgatus – split from eastern woodhaunter
Olive-backed foliage-gleaner, Automolus infuscatus
Para foliage-gleaner, Automolus paraensis
Pernambuco foliage-gleaner, Automolus lammi – split from white-eyed foliage-gleane [5]
White-eyed foliage-gleaner, Automolus leucophthalmus

The tepui foliage-gleaner has been placed in this genus, but behavior, voice, and morphology all point to it belonging in Syndactyla,[6] and molecular data confirmed this hypothesis.[7]

The eastern woodhaunter was formerly placed in its own genus Hyloctistes but molecular evidence showed that it was nested in Automolus.[8] The ruddy foliage-gleaner and the Santa Marta foliage-gleaner, formerly placed in Automolus, are actually more closely related to Clibanornis foliage-gleaners.[8]
