Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura

Restinga Tyrannulet, Phylloscartes kronei, is a passerine of south-eastern Brazil in the Tyrannidae family. It lives in a narrow coastal strip from the Ribeira River floodplain in southern São Paulo state to north-eastern Rio Grande do Sul, mainly in restinga woodland on sand ridges by the coast. It also uses nearby evergreen forest, secondary growth and riverside forest. The sexes are alike, and adults show a yellow supercilium, a broken eye-ring and two wing bars. It was formally described by Willis and Oniki in 1992.
