Notharchus is a genus of puffbird in the Bucconidae family.

The genus was introduced by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis and Ferdinand Heine in 1863.[1] The type species was subsequently designated as the white-necked puffbird (Notharchus hyperrhynchus) by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1882.[2][3] The generic name combines the Ancient Greek nōthēs meaning "sluggish" and arkhos meaning "leader" or "chief".[4]

The genus contains six species:[5]
Image Scientific name Common Name Distribution
Notharchus hyperrhynchus[6] White-necked puffbird northern Colombia (including Magdalena Valley), northern Venezuela, and the western and southern Amazon Basin
Notharchus macrorhynchos[6] Guianan puffbird north-eastern South America (and named after The Guianas), in far eastern Venezuela, north-eastern Brazil, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana
Notharchus ordii Brown-banded puffbird Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru, and in the Orinoco River region of Venezuela
Notharchus pectoralis Black-breasted puffbird Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama.
Notharchus swainsoni Buff-bellied puffbird Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay
Notharchus tectus Pied puffbird Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
