Phaeomyias is a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
The genus was erected by the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch in 1902.[1] The type species was subsequently designated as the mouse-colored tyrannulet (Phaeomyias murina).[2][3]
Species[]
The genus contains two species:[4]
| Image | Scientific name | Common Name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Phaeomyias murina | Mouse-colored tyrannulet | Panama and Costa Rica |
| Phaeomyias tumbezana | Tumbesian tyrannulet | southwest Ecuador and northwest Peru |
The Tumbesian tyrannulet was formerly considered conspecific with the widespread mouse-colored tyrannulet. The two species are visually very similar, but vocally distinct.[5]
