Antilophia is a genus of South American birds in the manakin family Pipridae.

Taxonomy

The genus Antilophia was introduced in 1850 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the helmeted manakin.[1][2] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek antios meaning "different" with lophoeis meaning "crested".[3]

The genus contains the following two species:[4]
