Ochthoeca is a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
==Taxonomy== The genus Ochthoeca was introduced in 1847 by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis. His listed two species in the genus but did not specify the type species. In 1855 the English zoologist George Gray designated the type as Fluvicola oenanthoides D'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, D'Orbigny's chat-tyrant. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek οχθος/okhthos meaning "bank" or "mound" with οικος/oikos meaning "dwelling".
