Abstract
New distributional records, habitat utilization, relative abundance, migration, vocalization, behavior and descriptive features of the Mouse-coloured Tyrannulet (Phaeomyias murina) are given, based on 84 records from Northeastern Argentina. Two census techniques were used to detect 62 individuals in NW Corrientes: Points count (41) and transect (21). The remaining records were occasional observations from different sites. In the area censused P. murina was one the commonest birds in semi-xerophile Chaco woodland of Schinopsis balansae, but was not found in humid subtropical forest. Nevertheless, eight occasional records were obtained in humid subtropical forest in NE Corrientes, where Chaco forest does not exist. In agreement with our observations, several authors point out that P. murina shows a preference for arid to semi-arid areas, although it could be found in a wide variety of habitats. The records show that this species breeds in Argentina during spring-summer and migrates, presumably north, during the fall.
