Hylophylax is a genus of bird in the family Thamnophilidae.
The genus Hylophylax was erected by the American ornithologist Robert Ridgway in 1909 with the spotted antbird as the type species.[2] It contains three species:[3]
- Spotted antbird, Hylophylax naevioides
- Spot-backed antbird, Hylophylax naevius
- Dot-backed antbird, Hylophylax punctulatus
The common scale-backed antbird was formerly included in Hylophylax. A molecular study found that it was not closely related to the other species and it was therefore moved to a newly erected genus Willisornis.[4][5][6]
