It contains the following species: * White-browed treecreeper, ''Climacteris affinis'' * Red-browed treecreeper, ''Climacteris erythrops'' * Brown treecreeper, ''Climacteris picumnus'' * Black-tailed treecreeper, ''Climacteris melanurus'' * Rufous treecreeper, ''Climacteris rufus'' These birds and the other members of the family, genus ''Cormobates'', are similar to Northern Hemisphere creepers, Certhiidae, in climbing helically up tree trunks looking for insect food. Differences from ''Cormobates'' are *''Climacteris'' species have black, slightly downcurved bills. *They have a rusty chest stripe in the female. (In ''Cormobates'' the female is marked on the face.) *They have simple vocal repertoires that are the same for both sexes. *They lay heavily marked pinkish eggs (Simpson and Day 1999). *They are cooperative breeders; male offspring of previous broods and sometimes other individuals help breeding pairs (Doerr 2003). ==References== * * Peterson, Alan P.
