Uromyias is a genus of small Andean, tyrant flycatchers known as tit-tyrants. They were formerly recognized based on syrinxial and plumage characters, including a flatter crest and a longer tail, but was included within Anairetes due to genetic analysis.[1][2] Recent analyses suggested splitting into Uromyias again.[3]
The tit-tyrants are fairly small birds (11–14 cm) that get their common name from the tit family, due to their energetic tit-like dispositions and appearance, primarily in their crests.[1] Tit-tyrants live in temperate or arid scrub habitats and are mainly found in the Andes mountains.[1] It is one of only a few genera of small flycatchers that occur at such high altitudes.[4]
Species
The genus contains two species:[5]
| Image | Scientific name | Common name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Uromyias agilis | Agile tit-tyrant | Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela |
 |
Uromyias agraphia | Unstreaked tit-tyrant | Peru |
