Clibanornis is a genus of birds in the family Furnariidae. Formerly, it contained only the Canebrake groundcreeper but phylogenetic studies revealed that this species is closely related to other four species formerly placed in Automolus (Ruddy foliage-gleaner and Santa Marta foliage-gleaner) and Hyloctistes (Henna-hooded foliage-gleaner and Henna-capped foliage-gleaner).[1]
