Formicivora is a genus of birds in the family Thamnophilidae. These relatively small, long-tailed antbirds are strongly sexually dichromatic. They are found in forest, woodland and shrub in South America, although a single species (F. grisea) also occurs in Panama.
The Sincorá antwren was only described in 2007. While traditionally placed in its own genus Stymphalornis, the marsh antwren belongs in Formicivora. In contrast, the black-hooded antwren is not closely related to other Formicivora and better moved to its own genus.
