The white-lined antbird (Myrmoborus lophotes) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil , and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest.

This species was previously placed in the genus Percnostola but a genetic study published in 2013 found that it is embedded within Myrmoborus.[2][3]
