Ochthoeca is a genus of birds in the Tyrannidae family.
In recent times, ist has usually contained the following species:
- Brown-backed Chat-Tyrant, Ochthoeca fumicolor
- White-browed Chat-Tyrant, Ochthoeca leucophrys
- Piura Chat-Tyrant, Ochthoeca piurae
- D'Orbigny's Chat-Tyrant, Ochthoeca oenanthoides
- Rufous-breasted Chat-Tyrant, Ochthoeca rufipectoralis
- Slaty-backed Chat-Tyrant, Ochthoeca cinnamomeiventris
- Maroon-belted Chat-Tyrant, Ochthoeca cinnamomeiventris thoracica
- Crowned Chat-Tyrant, Ochthoeca frontalis
- Kalinowski's Chat-Tyrant, Ochthoeca frontalis spodionota
- Jelski's Chat-Tyrant Ochthoeca jelskii
- Yellow-bellied Chat-Tyrant Ochthoeca diadema
- Golden-browed Chat-Tyrant Ochthoeca pulchella
But it has turned out that the last three, which some had considered to belong in Silvicultrix, may in fact form a distinct genus. However, they are anatomically very similar and the genetic data may to be inconsistent, so the question is not fully resolved.
