The tit-like dacnis (Xenodacnis parina) is a small neotropical passerine bird found in southern Ecuador and Peru.

Males are solid deep blue with dark eyes, bill, and feet.

The tit-like dacnis was formally described in 1873 by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis from a specimen collected in the Andes of central Peru.

The specific epithet parina is from Modern Latin and means "tit like".

[4] The tit-like dacnis is sister to a clade containing the four species now placed in the genus Idiopsar.
