Empidonomus is a genus of small passerine birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae that are found in South America. The genus contains two species.
==Taxonomy== The genus Empidonomus was introduced in 1860 by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis and Ferdinand Heine to accommodate a single species, Muscicapa varia Vieillot, the variegated flycatcher. This is the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek εμπις/empis, εμπιδος/empidos meaning "gnat" or "mosquito" with -νομος/-nomos meaning "-ruling".
