Myiophobus

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

==Taxonomy== The genus Myiophobus was introduced in 1850 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach. The name combines the Ancient Greek μυια/muia, μυιας/muias meaning "fly" with φοβος/phobos meaning "terror", "fear" or "panic". As Reichenbach did not specify a type species, in 1855 the English zoologist George Gray designated the type as Muscicapa ferruginea Swainson. Gray made an error as in 1835 William Swainson had placed this species in the genus Tyrannula rather than in Muscicapa. Swainson's name Tyrannula ferruginea is considered to be a junior synonym of Muscicapa flammiceps Temminck, CJ, 1822, which is now a subspecies of Muscicapa fasciata Müller, the bran-colored flycatcher.
