Lepidocolaptes is a genus of birds in the ovenbird family Furnariidae. These are relatively small woodcreepers (subfamily Dendrocolaptinae) with fairly long, thin and slightly decurved bills.
Taxonomy

The genus Lepidocolaptes was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach.[1] The name combines the Ancient Greek lepis meaning "scale" with kolaptēs meaning "pecker".[2] The type species was designated as the scaled woodcreeper by George Robert Gray in 1855.[3][4]
Species

The genus contains 11 species:[5]

Image	Scientific name	Common Name	Distribution
	Lepidocolaptes leucogaster	White-striped woodcreeper	Mexico.
	Lepidocolaptes souleyetii	Streak-headed woodcreeper	southern Mexico to northwestern Peru, northern Brazil and Guyana, and also on Trinidad.
	Lepidocolaptes angustirostris	Narrow-billed woodcreeper	Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Suriname, and Uruguay.
	Lepidocolaptes affinis	Spot-crowned woodcreeper	central Mexico in the east, the Sierra Madre Orientals, to northern Panama.
	Lepidocolaptes lacrymiger	Montane woodcreeper	Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
	Lepidocolaptes squamatus	Scaled woodcreeper	Brazil.
	Lepidocolaptes falcinellus	Scalloped woodcreeper	southeastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and far northeastern Argentina.
	Lepidocolaptes albolineatus	Guianan woodcreeper	Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, and eastern Venezuela.
	Lepidocolaptes duidae	Duida woodcreeper	Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
	Lepidocolaptes fatimalimae	Inambari woodcreeper	western Amazonia.
	Lepidocolaptes fuscicapillus	Dusky-capped woodcreeper(formerly named Rondonia woodcreeper)	southwestern Amazonia

The lesser woodcreeper was formerly included in this genus, but is now in Xiphorhynchus.
