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

The genus contains two species: [2]

The two species were formerly placed in the genus Myrmeciza . A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Myrmeciza, as then defined, was polyphyletic. [3] In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera these species were moved to the resurrected genus Akletos which had been introduced by the Polish ornithologist Andrzej Dunajewski in 1948.
