Myiozetetes is a small genus of passerine birds in the tyrant flycatcher family. The four species occur in tropical Central and South America.
==Taxonomy== The genus Myiozetetes was introduced by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1859 with the rusty-margined flycatcher as the type species. The name of the genus combines the Ancient Greek muias "fly" and zētētēs "searcher".
