Terenura is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae.
The genus was erected by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis and Ferdinand Heine in 1860 with the streak-capped antwren as the type species. [1] [2] The name of the genus comes from the Ancient Greek words terēn for "soft" and oura for "tail". [3]
