Knipolegus is a genus of birds, the black tyrants, in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
The genus was erected by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1826 with the blue-billed black tyrant (Knipolegus cyanirostris) as the type species.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek knips meaning "insect" and legō meaning "to pick".[3]
The genus contains the following 12 species:[4]
Blue-billed black tyrant, Knipolegus cyanirostris
Jelski's black tyrant, Knipolegus signatus
Plumbeous tyrant, Knipolegus cabanisi
Cinereous tyrant, Knipolegus striaticeps
White-winged black tyrant, Knipolegus aterrimus
Hudson's black tyrant, Knipolegus hudsoni
Rufous-tailed tyrant, Knipolegus poecilurus
Riverside tyrant, Knipolegus orenocensis
Amazonian black tyrant, Knipolegus poecilocercus
Crested black tyrant, Knipolegus lophotes
Velvety black tyrant, Knipolegus nigerrimus
