Percnostola is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the family Thamnophilidae.
The genus was erected by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis and Ferdinand Heine in 1860.[2] The type species is the black-headed antbird.[3] The name of the genus comes from the Ancient Greek words perknos meaning "dark" or "dusky" and stolē meaning "dress" or "clothing".[4]
The genus contains two species:[5]
- Black-headed antbird (Percnostola rufifrons)
- Allpahuayo antbird (Percnostola arenarum)
The genus previously included the white-lined antbird but a genetic study published in 2013 found that it is embedded within Myrmoborus.[6]
