The stipplethroats are a genus Epinecrophylla of South and Central American passerine birds in the antbird family Thamnophilidae. They were previously included in the genus Myrmotherula as the "stipple-throated group".
==Taxonomy== The genus Epinecrophylla was erected in 2006 by the American ornithologists Morton Isler and Robb Brumfield with Formicivora haematonota Sclater, 1857, the rufous-backed stipplethroat, as the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek επι/epi meaning "on" with νεκρος/nekros meaning "dead" and φυλλον/phullon meaning "leaf".
