Genus: Hypocnemis

Hypocnemis is a genus of bird in the Thamnophilidae family. The Warbling Antbird has traditionally been considered a single polytypic species, but recent evidence has led to it being split into six almost entirely parapatric species.

It contains the following species:

  • Warbling Antbird, Hypocnemis cantator
    • Guianan Warbling-Antbird, Hypocnemis (cantator) cantator
    • Imeri Warbling-Antbird, Hypocnemis (cantator) flavescens
    • Peruvian Warbling-Antbird, Hypocnemis (cantator) peruviana
    • Yellow-breasted Warbling-Antbird, Hypocnemis (cantator) subflava
    • Rondonia Warbling-Antbird, Hypocnemis (cantator) ochrogyna
    • Spix's Warbling-Antbird, Hypocnemis (cantator) striata
  • Yellow-browed Antbird, Hypocnemis hypoxantha
