About the Serra do Mar Tyrannulet
The Serra do Mar bristle tyrant (Pogonotriccus difficilis), or Serra do Mar tyrannulet (Phylloscartes difficilis), is a small species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to Brazil. The Serra do Mar bristle tyrant was formally described in 1907 by the German-Brazilian naturalists Hermann von Ihering and his son Rodolpho von Ihering. They introduced a new genus, Guracava and coined the binomial name Guracava difficilis. The type locality was specified as Itatiaia in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. The specific epithet is Latin meaning "difficult". The Serra do Mar bristle tyrant was later moved to genus Phylloscartes and known as the Serra do Mar tyrannulet.
