About the Guttulate Foliage-gleaner

The guttulate foliage-gleaner (Syndactyla guttulata) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Venezuela. The guttulate foliage-gleaner was originally described as Anabazenops guttulatus. It early acquired the English name "guttulated foliage-gleaner", a name which persisted until it was pointed out that the word guttulated does not exist in English. "Webster's International indeed states that the English noun guttula is an obscure word for a drop-shaped spot, and the adjectival form is guttulate, not "guttulated". The guttulate foliage-gleaner has two subspecies, the nominate S. g. guttulata (Sclater, PL, 1858) and S. g. pallida (Zimmer, JT & Phelps, WH, 1944).
