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.[1] It contains three species:[2]

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.[3][4][5]
