Genus:	Phaeomyias; Berlepsch, 1902

Phaeomyias is a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.

The genus was erected by the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch in 1902.[1] The type species was subsequently designated as the mouse-colored tyrannulet (Phaeomyias murina).[2][3]

Species

The genus contains two species:[4]

Image	Scientific name	Common Name	Distribution
	Phaeomyias murina	Mouse-colored tyrannulet	Panama and Costa Rica
	Phaeomyias tumbezana	Tumbesian tyrannulet	southwest Ecuador and northwest Peru

The Tumbesian tyrannulet was formerly considered conspecific with the widespread mouse-colored tyrannulet. The two species are visually very similar, but vocally distinct.[5]
