DEFINITIONS
GEOCERTHIA
(Furnariidae; † Striated Earthcreeper G. serrana) Gr. γεω- geō- ground- < γη gē earth; genus Certhia Linnaeus, 1758, treecreeper; "Geocerthia Chesser and Claramunt, genus nov. Type species. Upucerthia serrana Taczanowski, 1875. Included species. Geocerthia serrana (Taczanowski, 1875) comb. nov., Striated Earthcreeper. ... Geocerthia differs from true Upucerthia earthcreepers, which have long, thin, highly decurved bills, by its somparatively shorter and stouter decurved bill and its overall darker plumage. Distinguished from all Cinclodes and Upucerthia species by its rufous wings, uppertail coverts, and tail. Lacks the wing-band typical of Cinclodes species. Etymology. From the Greek geo (earth) and certhia (treecreeper), referring to the terrestrial habits of G. serrana and to its bill, which resembles those of the treecreepers. The construction of the name is a direct parallel to the English name earthcreeper. The name is feminine."
