4, see text Thamnomanes is a genus of insectivorous birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae.

They are restricted to the Neotropics and are important components of forest mixed-species feeding flocks.

The genus Thamnomanes was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847.

[2] The name combines the Ancient Greek words thamnos "bush" and -manēs "fond of".
