Hypothymis is a genus of birds in the family Monarchidae.
The genus was introduced by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1826 with the black-naped monarch (Hypothymis azurea) as the type species. The word Hypothymis is from the Ancient Greek hupothumis, the name of an unidentified bird mentioned by the playwright Aristophanes. ==Species== The genus contains four species: {| class="wikitable" |- !
