Band-tailed Antbird, Hypocnemoides maculicauda, is a passerine of the antbird family that breeds in eastern Peru, northern Bolivia and central, south-eastern Brazil. It was first described by Pelzeln in 1868. It belongs to the genus Hypocnemoides, which it shares with the black-chinned antbird. The species is tied to lowland evergreen forest, especially várzea beside major rivers, smaller streams and lake margins, where it uses low growth over water. It is a year-round resident across its range.
