ABSTRACT: We present the first records of Pheucticus aureoventris from the states of Rondônia, Amazonas and Goiás in Brazil, which significantly expand the species’ known range into central South America and Amazonia. Previously, P. aureoventris was known only as an austral migrant to semi-open areas in south-western Brazil. We hypothesize that deforestation (creating additional open habitats) and an increase in the number of ornithologists surveying poorly sampled regions, may be related to the range extension of P. aureoventris in Brazil.

Recent records have expanded the (d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) is a medium-sized distribution of P. aureoventris farther inland in Brazil, passerine bird, typical of shrubby, semi-open areas and reaching the Paraná River basin in the Cerrado (Faxina dry forests in semi-arid regions, also occurring at the edge et al. 2010). However, until the present study the known of wet, montane forest and highland fields. Pheucticus range of P. aureoventris was restricted to the states of Mato aureoventris is found between 500 m and 3,700 m along Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. the Andean slopes, from Venezuela and Colombia to On 21 and 23 August 2010, G.
