The barbthroats are a group of hummingbirds in the genus Threnetes. It contains the following species:
- 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).
