Akletos is a genus of passerine birds in the family Thamnophilidae.
The genus contains two species:[2]
- White-shouldered antbird (Akletos melanoceps)
- Goeldi's antbird (Akletos goeldii)
The two species were formerly placed in the genus Myrmeciza. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Myrmeciza, as then defined, was polyphyletic.[3] In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera these species were moved to the resurrected genus Akletos which had been introduced by the Polish ornithologist Andrzej Dunajewski in 1948.[2][4][5]
