The Key to Scientific Names
Legend Overview
Introduction
Canebrake Wren formerly was known as "Plain Wren", and included with two taxa that now are recognized as separate species, Cabanis's Wren (Cantorchilus modestus) and Isthmian Wren (Cantorchilus elutus). "Plain Wren" indeed was a good name of this species, as it possesses rather few obviously distinguishing field marks. This overall similarity is one reason why Cabanis's, Canebrake, and Isthmian wrens were considered conspecific until phylogenetic analyses revealed that each was more distantly related to each other than previously was thought; this genetic divergence also is complemented by differences in their songs. Canebrake Wren has a rather restricted distribution, as it is confined to the Caribbean slope, from Nicaragua south to western Panama.
