The flycatcher-thrushes and ant-thrushes are medium-sized insectivorous birds in the genus Sheppardia of the thrush family Turdidae.
These are African forest dwelling species:
- Rufous Flycatcher-thrush, Neocossyphus fraseri
- Finsch's Flycatcher-thrush, Neocossyphus finschii
- Red-tailed Ant-thrush, Neocossyphus rufus
- White-tailed Ant-thrush, Neocossyphus poensis
The two ant-thrushes should not be confused with the unrelated South American antthrushes in the family Formicariidae.
