Drymophila is a bird genus in the antbird family (Thamnophilidae). It is a relative of the typical antwrens.
The genus Drymophila was introduced by the English naturalist William Swainson in 1824.[2] The type species is the ferruginous antbird.[3] The name of the genus combines the Ancient Greek words drumos for "wood" or "copse" and philos "fond of".[4]
