The typical spinetails, Cranioleuca, are a genus of Neotropical birds in the ovenbird family Furnariidae.

This is a homogeneous group of small birds that live in forested habitats. The spinetails in this genus differ from those placed in Synallaxis in having shorter tails and being more arboreal. They are less vocal and more frequently join mixed flocks.[1]
Taxonomy and species list

The genus Cranioleuca was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach with the light-crowned spinetail as the type species.[2][3] The name combines the Ancient Greek kranion meaning "skull" with leukos meaning "white".[4]

The genus contains 19 species:[5]

Creamy-crested spinetail, Cranioleuca albicapilla
Light-crowned spinetail, Cranioleuca albiceps
Marcapata spinetail, Cranioleuca marcapatae
Line-cheeked spinetail, Cranioleuca antisiensis
Ash-browed spinetail, Cranioleuca curtata
Streak-capped spinetail, Cranioleuca hellmayri
Tepui spinetail, Cranioleuca demissa
Pallid spinetail, Cranioleuca pallida
Red-faced spinetail, Cranioleuca erythrops
Grey-headed spinetail, Cranioleuca semicinerea
Crested spinetail, Cranioleuca subcristata
Olive spinetail, Cranioleuca obsoleta
Stripe-crowned spinetail, Cranioleuca pyrrhophia
Rusty-backed spinetail, Cranioleuca vulpina
Coiba spinetail, Cranioleuca dissita
Parker's spinetail or white-breasted spinetail, Cranioleuca vulpecula
Speckled spinetail, Cranioleuca gutturata
Scaled spinetail, Cranioleuca muelleri
Bolivian spinetail, Cranioleuca henricae
