Urich's Tyrannulet

Phyllomyias urichi (Chapman, 1899)

Urich's Tyrannulet, Phyllomyias urichi, is a passerine found in northern Venezuela, where it is known from the eastern Venezuelan Coastal Range in Anzoátegui, Sucre and Monagas. It lives in humid montane forest in the upper tropical zone, mostly between 900 and 1,100 m, with one record from 800 m. The species is monotypic and was once placed in Xanthomyias before being returned to Phyllomyias. It is also known only from a very small range in South America, and its presence has been confirmed in the field only a few times.
