Automolus is a genus of bird in the ovenbird family Furnariidae.
==Taxonomy== The genus Automolus was introduced in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach to accommodate the taxon Sphenura sulphurascens Lichtenstein, now treated as a subspecies of the white-eyed foliage-gleaner. The name is from the Ancient Greek automolos meaning "deserter".
