Lesser Woodcreeper (Xiphorhynchus fuscus), occurring in the Atlantic and Planalto forests of eastern Brazil and adjacent areas in Paraguay and Argentina, was for many years classified in the genus Lepidocolaptes. In 1983, Willis suggested that, because of its behaviour, it belonged in Xiphorhynchus; more recent analyses of anatomical and molecular characters place its closest relatives as members of the Amazonian radiation that combines the X. ocellatus and X. spixii species complexes.
