Sipia is a genus of passerine birds in the family Thamnophilidae.
The genus contains four species:[1]
- Dull-mantled antbird (Sipia laemosticta)
- Magdalena antbird (Sipia palliata)
- Esmeraldas antbird (Sipia nigricauda)
- Stub-tailed antbird (Sipia berlepschi)
These species were formerly placed in the genus Myrmeciza. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Myrmeciza, as then defined, was polyphyletic.[2] In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera these four species were moved to the resurrected genus Sipia which had been introduced by the Austrian ornithologist Carl Eduard Hellmayr in 1924.[1][3]
