Hylocryptus is a genus of birds in the Furnariidae family. They are found at low levels in woodland and forest in South America. They have a relatively heavy bill, and their plumage is at least partially orange-rufous.
Recent evidence suggests that another species, the Santa Marta Foliage-gleaner, possibly also should be placed in this genus.[1]
