Hylexetastes is a genus of birds in the Dendrocolaptinae subfamily.
Species

The genus contains the following species:[1]

Image	Scientific name	Common Name	Distribution
	Hylexetastes stresemanni	Bar-bellied woodcreeper	western Amazon in northern Bolivia, far western Brazil, eastern Peru, southeastern Colombia, and, as recently confirmed, eastern Ecuador.
	Hylexetastes perrotii	Red-billed woodcreeper	Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela.
	Hylexetastes uniformis	Uniform woodcreeper	south-central Amazon of Bolivia and Brazil.

However, a phylogenetic study found support for at least five evolutionary species in Hylexetastes: the four species above and H. undulatus (currently included in the Bar-bellied woodpecker).[2]
