Cypseloides is a genus of swifts in the family Apodidae. It contains eight described species. They occur mainly in Central and South America. The exception being the American black swift, which has a wide range into North America.
==Taxonomy== The genus Cypseloides was introduced in 1848 by the German naturist August Vollrath Streubel. The type species was subsequently designated by Philip Sclater in 1865 as the sooty swift. The name combines the genus Cypselus introduced by Johann Illiger in 1811 and the Ancient Greek -oidēs meaning "resembling".
