Oneillornis is a genus of passerine birds in the family Thamnophilidae. The species are native to the Amazon rainforest of South America.
The genus contains two species: [1]
These two species were at one time included in the genus Gymnopithys . They were moved to this newly erected genus based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014. The type species is the lunulated antbird. [2]
These species are specialist ant-followers that depend on swarms of army ants to flush insects and other arthropods out of the leaf litter. [3]

The fire-eyes, Pyriglena, are a genus of birds in the antbird family Thamnophilidae.The genus contains 5 species, all found in South America. The fire-eyes are 16–18 cm in length, weigh 25-36 g and have characteristic red eyes that give them their name. They have sexually dimorphic plumage, with the females possessing brown to buff coloured bodies with black tails, and the males being black with small patches of white on the back or wings. The fire-eyes eat a variety of insects, and will regularly follow army ants in order to catch prey flushed by them. Two of the fire-eyes are widespread and safe, but one species, the fringe-backed fire-eye, is threatened with extinction.
