Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)

Restinga Tyrannulet (Phylloscartes kronei) - HBW 9, p. 299

French: Tyranneau de Krone German: Uferlaubtyrann Spanish: Orejerito de Restinga

Taxonomy: Phylloscartes kronei Willis and Oniki, 1992, Jardim Europa, Ilha Comprida, São Paulo, Brazil.
Recently described species, apparently belonging to a superspecies that also contains P. ventralis, P. beckeri, P. flavovirens and P. virescens; extremely similar to first of those, and possibly only a well-marked race of it, but the two have quite dissimilar voices and different habitats, and occur in close proximity to one another in SE Brazil. Monotypic.

Distribution: Coastal lowlands of SE Brazil from SE São Paulo (including lower banks of R Ribeira) S to Santa Catarina (Joinville).
