Threnetes is a genus in the hummingbird family (Trochilidae). It contains the following species, collectively known as the barbthroats:

Contents

  • Pale-tailed barbthroat, Threnetes leucurus (formerly in T. niger)
  • Sooty barbthroat, Threnetes niger
  • Bronze-tailed barbthroat, T. (n.) loehkeni
  • Christina's barbthroat, T. (n./l.) christinae (doubtfully distinct from loehkeni)
  • Freire's sooty barbthroat, T. (n./l.) freirei
  • Band-tailed barbthroat, Threnetes ruckeri

    • The supposed "black barbthroats", described as T. grzimeki, are actually juvenile males of the rufous-breasted hermit (Glaucis hirsuta).
