About the Alagoas Tyrannulet
The Alagoas tyrannulet (Phylloscartes ceciliae) is a Critically Endangered species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is endemic to Brazil. The Alagoas tyrannulet is monotypic. It and the bay-ringed tyrannulet (P. sylviolus) appear to be sister species. Dante Martins Teixeira, who formally described the species, called it the "long-tailed tyrannulet". He gave it the specific epithet ceciliae in memory of his late wife Cecelia Torres.
