Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Mottle-cheeked Tyrannulet (Phylloscartes ventralis) - HBW 9, p. 299
French: Tyranneau ventru
German: Olivgelb-Laubtyrann
Spanish: Orejerito Oliváceo
Taxonomy: Muscicapa ventralis Temminck, 1824, Ipanema, São Paulo, Brazil.
Forms a superspecies with P. flavovirens and P. virescens, all formerly treated as conspecific; P. kronei and P. beckeri (both recently described) apparently belong with this group. Geographical differences minimal, and the maintaining of races perhaps unwarranted. Three subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- angustirostris (d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) - E Andes from N Peru (San Martín) S to N Bolivia (La Paz, Cochabamba).
- tucumanus J. T. Zimmer, 1940 - NW Argentina (Jujuy S to Tucumán and Catamarca).
- ventralis (Temminck, 1824) - SE Brazil (Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro S to S Mato Grosso do Sul and Rio Grande do Sul), E Paraguay, NE Argentina (Misiones, Entre Ríos) and Uruguay.
