Hypocnemis is a genus of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. The Warbling Antbird has traditionally been considered a single polytypic species, but recent evidence has led to it being split into six almost entirely parapatric species.
It contains the following species:
- Guianan warbling antbird, Hypocnemis cantator
- Imeri warbling antbird, Hypocnemis flavescens
- Peruvian warbling antbird, Hypocnemis peruviana
- Yellow-breasted warbling antbird, Hypocnemis subflava
- Rondonia warbling antbird, Hypocnemis ochrogyna
- Spix's warbling antbird, Hypocnemis striata
- Manicoré warbling antbird, Hypocnemis rondoni
- Yellow-browed antbird, Hypocnemis hypoxantha
