The header you want, at least according to my install (and it isn't the most recent) is pic168xa.h. This covers:
* Header file for the Microchip
* PIC 16F873A chip
* PIC 16F874A chip
* PIC 16F876A chip
* PIC 16F877A chip
* Midrange Microcontroller

If you include pic.h then it will select the correct file.

The relevant part being,

#if defined(_16F873A)	|| defined(_16F874A)	||\
    defined(_16F876A)	|| defined(_16F877A)
	#include	<pic168xa.h>

So, as already mentioned, the correct file is pic168xa.h
