Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Amazonian Tyrannulet (Inezia subflava) - HBW 9, p. 312
French: Tyranneau givré
German: Braunscheitel-Tachurityrann
Spanish: Piojito Pantanero
Taxonomy: Serpophaga subflava P. L. Sclater and Salvin, 1873, Pará, Brazil.
Genus as currently constituted is probably polyphyletic. Present species and I. caudata closely related and formerly considered conspecific; recently split on basis of differences in plumage, iris colour and, especially, vocal behaviour. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- obscura J. T. Zimmer, 1939 - S Venezuela (Amazonas), adjacent SE Colombia (E Guainía, E Vaupés) and NW Brazil (vicinity of upper R Negro).
- subflava (P. L. Sclater & Salvin, 1873) - EC Brazil (lower R Negro and lower R Madeira E to Pará) and extreme N Bolivia (Beni, NE Santa Cruz); probably also in intervening region of Amazon Basin.
