It is the only species in its genus. This bird is one of the smallest woodcreepers and has a slim build with a short, straight bill. Unlike most of its relatives, it lacks streaking or spotting. The sexes look alike, though females are usually smaller. It lives in wooded places, especially mature forest, but also uses secondary growth and plantations.
