Dendroplex is a genus of birds in the woodcreeper subfamily Dendrocolaptinae. It was long merged into Xiphorhynchus, but its distinctness has now been established.[1]

Taxonomy

The genus Dendroplex was introduced in 1827 by the English naturalist William Swainson.[2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek dendron meaning "tree" with plēssō meaning "to strike".[3] Swainson did not specify a type species but this was fixed in 2007 as the straight-billed woodcreeper which had first been described in 1788 by Johann Friedrich Gmelin with the binomial name Oriolus picus.[4][5]

The genus contains two species:[6]
