Poecilotriccus is a genus of small flycatchers in the family Tyrannidae. Except for the recently described Johnson's tody-flycatcher, all have, at one point or another, been included in the genus Todirostrum. Some species have been known as tody-tyrants instead of tody-flycatchers. Most species are found in South America, but a single species, the slate-headed tody-flycatcher, is also found in Central America. The black-chested tyrant may also belong in this genus, but most place it in the monotypic genus Taeniotriccus.

Taxonomy

The genus Poecilotriccus was introduced in 1884 by the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch to accommodate a single new species, Poecilotriccus lenzi. This is now considered to be a junior synonym of Todirhamphus ruficeps Kaup, 1852, the rufous-crowned tody-flycatcher and is the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek poikilos meaning "pied" or "spotted" with -ouros meaning "-tailed".
