Cypseloides is a genus of swifts in the family Apodidae. It contains eight described species. They occur mainly in Central and South America. The exception being the American black swift, which has a wide range into North America.
The genus Cypseloides was introduced in 1848 by the German naturist August Vollrath Streubel. [1] The type species was subsequently designated by Philip Sclater in 1865 as the sooty swift. [2] [3] The name combines the genus Cypselus introduced by Johann Illiger in 1811 and the Ancient Greek -oidēs meaning "resembling". [4]
