Phacellodomus is the genus of thornbirds, birds in the family Furnariidae. They are found in woodlands, shrublands, and grasslands, often near water, in South America.
==Taxonomy== The genus Phacellodomus was described in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the rufous-fronted thornbird. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek phakellos meaning "bundle of twigs" and domos meaning "house".
