First record of Phaethornis pretrei (Birds, Trochilidae) in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Abstract

There are 18 species of the genus Phaethornis, Swainson 1827 (Trochilidae) in Brazil. In the state of Rio Grande do Sul, to date, only Phaethornis eurynome (Lesson, 1832) has been found. This work presents the first record of Phaethornis pretrei (Lesson & Delattre, 1839) in Rio Grande do Sul. The record was made in the urban perimeter of the town of Campinas do Sul. The species was documented in three ways by use of photography, video, and the recording of a spontaneous call.
