Poecilurus is a genus of birds in the Furnariidae (ovenbird) family from South America. Today all major authorities include them in Synallaxis instead, but unlike the "traditional" members of that genus, Poecilurus have closely webbed, broad-tipped, and soft tail feathers. Despite this difference, genetic evidence supports maintaining them in Synallaxis.
