Dysithamnus is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. Species in this genus are known as antvireos.
The genus Dysithamnus was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847.[2] The name combines the Ancient Greek words duō "to plunge" and thamnos "bush".[3] The type species was subsequently designated as the spot-breasted antvireo.[4]
The genus contains the following eight species:[5]
- Spot-breasted antvireo, Dysithamnus stictothorax
- Plain antvireo, Dysithamnus mentalis
- Streak-crowned antvireo, Dysithamnus striaticeps
- Spot-crowned antvireo, Dysithamnus puncticeps
- Rufous-backed antvireo, Dysithamnus xanthopterus
- White-streaked antvireo, Dysithamnus leucostictus
- Plumbeous antvireo, Dysithamnus plumbeus
- Bicolored antvireo, Dysithamnus occidentalis
