11, see text Geositta is a genus of passerine birds in the ovenbird family, Furnariidae.

There are 11 species including the campo miner (Geositta poeciloptera) which was formerly classified in a genus of its own, Geobates.

[3] The name Geositta anthoides is considered as a junior synonym of Alauda fissirostris which had been described in 1835 by the German naturalist Heinrich von Kittlitz.

[4][5] The taxon is now treated as a subspecies of the common miner with the trinomial name Geositta cunicularia fissirostris.

[7] The following cladogram showing the relationship between the species is based on a large molecular phylogenetic study of the suboscines by Michael Harvey and collaborators that was published in 2020.
