Taxonomy
The genus Threnetes was introduced in 1852 by the English ornithologist John Gould.[1] The name is from the Ancient Greek thrēnētēs meaning "mourner".[2] The type species is the pale-tailed barbthroat.[3] The genus contains three species.[4]
| Image | Name | Common name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Threnetes leucurus | Pale-tailed barbthroat | Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela | |
| Threnetes niger | Sooty barbthroat | French Guiana | |

Threnetes ruckeri | Band-tailed barbthroat | from southeastern Guatemala and Belize to western Ecuador and western Venezuela |
The supposed "black barbthroats", described as T. grzimeki, are actually juvenile males of the rufous-breasted hermit (Glaucis hirsuta).
