Abstract

I recorded an individual of Rock Tapaculo (Scytalopus petrophilus) on 15 October 2010, in a rocky outcrop (campo rupestre) formation at Sempre-Vivas National Park, at Bocaiú-va municipality, northern Minas Gerais, Brazil. This record extends the northern limit of distribution of this species.
