About the Sclater's Tyrannulet

Sclater's tyrannulet (Phyllomyias sclateri) is a species of bird in subfamily Elaeniinae of family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. In the early to mid twentieth century some authors placed Sclater's tyrannulet in genus Xanthomyias; that genus was merged into Phyllomyias in the 1970s. The species has two subspecies, the nominate P. s. sclateri (Berlepsch, 1901) and P. s. subtropicalis (Chapman, 1919). The species' common name and specific epithet commemorate the British zoologist Philip Lutley Sclater.
