Phyllomyias virescens (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Greenish Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias virescens) and Urich's Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias urichi) following SACC (2005).
Genus as presently constituted may be polyphyletic. Anatomical evidence suggests that Planalto Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias fasciatus), Grey-capped Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias griseocapilla) and Sooty-headed Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias griseiceps) may be unrelated to others of genus, some or all of which possibly better placed in resurrected genus Tyranniscus. Appears to form a superspecies with Greenish Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias virescens) and Reiser's Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias reiseri), and probably closest to Reiser's Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias reiseri). All were for long considered conspecific, but differences in morphology (plumage pattern, wing and tail proportions), degree of sexual dimorphism and habitat evident. Has been suggested that Sclater's Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias sclateri) also belongs in this group.
Similar Species
