Pelzeln's Tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus inornatus) - HBW 9, p. 324

French: Todirostre de Pelzeln German: Pelzelntodityrann Spanish: Titirijí de Pelzeln

Taxonomy: Euscarthmus inornatus Pelzeln, 1868, River Içana, right bank of upper Rio Negro, north-west Brazil.
Thought to form a superspecies with H. minimus on basis of complementary distributions and similarities in habitat and voice. Formerly considered a race of H. margaritaceiventer. Monotypic.

Distribution: Very locally on R Negro and tributaries, in NW Brazil; probably also in adjacent Venezuela and Colombia.
