The spotted bamboowren (Psilorhamphus guttatus) is a small species of bird in the family Rhinocryptidae. It is monotypic within the genus Psilorhamphus.[2] It is endemic to the Atlantic Forest, mainly at bamboo thickets, in southeastern Brazil and far northeastern Argentina. It is threatened by habitat loss. Despite its English name, this long-tailed brown and grey bird is not a wren, but an unusual tapaculo.
