Hafferia is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae.

The genus contains three species:[1]

  • Sooty antbird (Hafferia fortis)
  • Blue-lored antbird (Hafferia immaculata)
  • Zeledon's antbird (Hafferia zeledoni)

These species were formerly included in the genus Myrmeciza. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Myrmeciza, as then defined, was polyphyletic.[2] In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera these three species were moved to the newly erected genus Hafferia with the blue-lored antbird as the type species.[1] The name of the new genus was chosen to commemorate the German ornithologist Jürgen Haffer.[2]
