The southern chestnut-tailed antbird (Sciaphylax hemimelaena) is a species of passerine bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in the Amazon Rainforest in far southern Colombia, eastern Peru, northern Bolivia, and western and central Brazil .
The southern chestnut-tailed antbird was originally described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1857 and given the binomial name Myrmeciza emimelaena.[2] A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that the genus Myrmeciza, as then defined, was polyphyletic.[3] In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera the southern chestnut-tailed antbird and the northern chestnut-tailed antbird were moved to a newly erected genus Sciaphylax.[4]
