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
