Black-throated Thistletail (Asthenes harterti)
About the Black-throated Thistletail
The black-throated thistletail (Asthenes harterti) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Bolivia. The black-throated thistletail and eight other species were previously placed in genus Schizoeaca but genetic data showed that the genus is embedded within Asthenes. Some authors considered all of those taxa to be conspecific but the genetic data confirm they are separate species. According to the International Ornithological Committee, the black-throated thistletail has two subspecies, the nominate A. h. harterti (Berlepsch, 1901) and A. h. bejaranoi (Remsen, 1981). The Clements taxonomy treats it as monotypic. This article follows the two-subspecies model.
