Mionectes is a genus of birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
The genus was erected in 1844 by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis with the streak-necked flycatcher (Mionectes striaticollis) as the type species.[1][2]
The genus contains the following seven species:[3]

Olive-streaked flycatcher | Mionectes olivaceus | Costa Rica and Panama. | |
Ochre-bellied flycatcher | Mionectes oleagineus | southern Mexico through Central America, and South America east of the Andes as far as southern Brazil, and on Trinidad and Tobago. | |
