The predicted antwren (Herpsilochmus praedictus ) is an insectivorous bird in the antbird family Thamnophilidae.
The predicted antwren was first described in 2013. The name refers to the fact that the bird was predicted to be a separate species on the basis of its distinctive vocalizations, which was later confirmed by analysis of its mitochondrial DNA.
It is found in Amazonian Brazil.
