Herpsilochmus is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family (Thamnophilidae). They are found in forest, woodland and shrub in South America, although a single species the rufous-winged antwren (H. rufimarginatus) also occurs in Panama. All are relatively small antbirds that are sexually dichromatic. In most (but not all) species males are essentially light grey with a black crown and black-and-white wings, while females are more buff or rufous with black-and-white crown.
The genus Herpsilochmus was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847.[1] The name of genus combines the Ancient Greek words herpō "to creep about" and lokhmē "thicket" or "copse".[2] The type species is the Bahia antwren.[3]
The genus contains 18 species:[4]
Ash-throated antwren, Herpsilochmus parkeri
Creamy-bellied antwren, Herpsilochmus motacilloides
Predicted antwren, Herpsilochmus praedictus
Aripuana antwren, Herpsilochmus stotzi
Black-capped antwren, Herpsilochmus atricapillus
Caatinga antwren, Herpsilochmus sellowi
Bahia antwren or pileated antwren, Herpsilochmus pileatus
Spot-tailed antwren, Herpsilochmus sticturus
Dugand's antwren, Herpsilochmus dugandi
Todd's antwren, Herpsilochmus stictocephalus
Ancient antwren, Herpsilochmus gentryi
Spot-backed antwren, Herpsilochmus dorsimaculatus
Roraiman antwren, Herpsilochmus roraimae
Pectoral antwren, Herpsilochmus pectoralis
Large-billed antwren, Herpsilochmus longirostris
Yellow-breasted antwren, Herpsilochmus axillaris
Rusty-winged antwren, Herpsilochmus frater
Rufous-margined antwren, Herpsilochmus rufimarginatus
