''Phylloscartes'' is a genus of small birds in the Tyrannidae family. They are found in wooded habitats of Central and South America. The Mottled-cheeked Tyrannulet is among the commonest birds in its range, but several other species are rare and threatened. Their plumage is predominantly green, yellow, white and grey, and many have contrasting facial patterns and wing-bars. They have thin, pointed bills, and relatively long tails. Most frequently cock their tail, perch relatively horizontally and are very active, though the bristle-tyrants, which often are places in a separate genus, ''Pogonotriccus'', instead, generally do not cock their tail, perch more upright and are less active. They mainly feed on small arthropods, and most commonly take part in mixed species flocks. ==Species== * Typical ''Phylloscartes'' tyrannulets: * * Mottle-cheeked tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes ventralis'' * * Restinga tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes kronei'' * * Bahia tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes beckeri'' * * Panamanian tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes flavovirens'' * * Olive-green tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes virescens'' * * Ecuadorian tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes gualaquizae'' * * Black-fronted tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes nigrifrons'' * * Alagoas tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes ceciliae'' * * Rufous-browed tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes superciliaris'' * * Rufous-lored tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes flaviventris'' * * Cinnamon-faced tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes parkeri'' * * Minas Gerais tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes roquettei'' * * Bay-ringed tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes sylviolus'' * * São Paulo tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes paulista'' * * Oustalet's tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes oustaleti'' * * Serra do Mar tyrannulet, ''Phylloscartes difficilis'' * Bristle tyrants, often placed in the genus ''Pogonotriccus'': * * Variegated bristle tyrant, ''Phylloscartes poecilotis'' * * Chapman's bristle tyrant, ''Phylloscartes chapmani'' * * Marble-faced bristle tyrant, ''Phylloscartes ophthalmicus'' * * Southern bristle tyrant, ''Phylloscartes eximius'' * * Spectacled bristle tyrant, ''Phylloscartes orbitalis'' * * Venezuelan bristle tyrant, ''Phylloscartes venezuelanus'' * * Antioquia bristle tyrant, ''Phylloscartes lanyoni'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phylloscartes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
