Myrmecocichla is a genus of passerine birds in the Old World chat and flycatcher family Muscicapidae.
==Taxonomy== The genus Myrmecocichla was introduced in 1851 by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis who listed several species in the genus but did not specify the type. In 1855 the English zoologist George Gray designated the type as Oenanthe formicivora Vieillot, 1818. This is a junior synonym of Motacilla formicivora Wilkes, 1817, the ant-eating chat. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek μυρμηξ/murmēx, μυρμηκος/murmēkos meaning "ant" with κιχλη/kikhlē meaning "thrush".
