Abstract
⺠We constructed a partial DNA-based phylogeny of the family Thamnophilidae. ⺠We demonstrate that the genus Terenura is polyphyletic. ⺠A new genus and a new subfamily are described for a subset of species currently placed in Terenura. ⺠We discuss the taxonomic and phylogenetic significance of this divergent lineage. ⺠This study emphasizes the importance of including samples of type taxa in phylogeny-based taxonomic studies.
