Ochthoeca is a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.

Taxonomy

[edit | edit source]

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.[2] In 1855 the English zoologist George Gray designated the type as Fluvicola oenanthoides D'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, D'Orbigny's chat-tyrant.[3][4] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek οχθος/okhthos meaning "bank" or "mound" with οικος/oikos meaning "dwelling".[5]
