Mishana Tyrannulet (Zimmerius villarejoi)
About the Mishana Tyrannulet
The Mishana tyrannulet (Zimmerius villarejoi) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is endemic to Peru. The Mishana tyrannulet is monotypic. However, it inhabits two separate ranges and the two populations might represent individual species. It and the red-billed tyrannulet (X. cinereicapilla) appear to be sister species. The Mishana tyrannulet's common name is from the Zona Reservada Allpahuayo-Mishana in the Department of San Martín, where the holotype was collected. Its specific epithet is "in honor of the Augustinian priest P. Avencio Villarejo (1910–2000)" who traveled the Peruvian Amazon in the 1930s and 1940s and described its flora, fauna, and the customs of its indigenous peoples.
