The identity of Azara's No. 246 "Trepador remos y cola roxos" and the names Dendrocolaptes miniatus Illiger, 1820 and Dendrocopus rubricaudatus Vieillot, 1818, which are based on it, have never been convincingly elucidated, and previously proposed identifications in the literature are demonstrably incorrect. Azara shot his specimen in a Paraguayan forest and provided a detailed description and measurements of it in his Spanish text. These are sufficient to confirm the identity of the specimen and the names based on it as the Olive Spinetail, long known as Cranioleuca obsoleta (Reichenbach, 1853). Dendrocolaptes miniatus Illiger, 1820 and Dendrocopus rubricaudatus Vieillot, 1818 nevertheless have date priority over that name, but as they have not been used as valid since 1899 they are nomina oblita under Article 23.9.2 of the Code. Cranioleuca obsoleta has been in universal use for this species since Hellmayr (1925), so it qualifies as a nomen protectum under Article 23.9.2, and remains the valid name for the Olive Spinetail.
阿扎拉的编号246“Trepador remos y cola roxos”的身份，以及基于它的学名Illiger于1820年命名的Dendrocolaptes miniatus和Vieillot于1818年命名的Dendrocopus rubricaudatus，从未得到令人信服的阐明，而且文献中先前提出的鉴定明显是错误的。阿扎拉在巴拉圭森林中射杀了他的标本，并在他的西班牙语文本中对其进行了详细描述和测量。这些足以确认该标本以及基于它的学名的身份为橄榄针尾雀，长期以来被称为Cranioleuca obsoleta（赖兴巴赫，1853年）。然而，Illiger于1820年命名的Dendrocolaptes miniatus和Vieillot于1818年命名的Dendrocopus rubricaudatus在时间上优先于该学名，但由于自1899年以来它们未被用作有效学名，根据《国际动物命名法规》第23.9.2条，它们是废弃名。自赫尔迈尔（1925年）以来，Cranioleuca obsoleta一直被普遍用于指称该物种，因此根据第23.9.2条，它符合受保护名称的条件，仍然是橄榄针尾雀的有效学名。
