Sipia is a genus of passerine birds in the family Thamnophilidae.

The genus contains four species:[1]

  • Dull-mantled antbird (Sipia laemosticta)
  • Magdalena antbird (Sipia palliata)
  • Esmeraldas antbird (Sipia nigricauda)
  • Stub-tailed antbird (Sipia berlepschi)

These species were formerly placed in the genus Myrmeciza. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Myrmeciza, as then defined, was polyphyletic.[2] In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera these four species were moved to the resurrected genus Sipia which had been introduced by the Austrian ornithologist Carl Eduard Hellmayr in 1924.[1][3]
