Description
The Mishana tyrannulet (Zimmerius villarejoi) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to two geographically separated regions in northeastern Peru. It is speculated that the two populations might represent separate species entirely. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Its diet consists of insects and fruit, with some evidence suggesting that they consume seeds as well. It forages in the forest canopy for seeds as well as small arthropods.

Habitat
The mishana Tyrannulet inhabits a variety of stunted or scrubby forests characterized by soils with low nutrient quality. Ideal environments include white-sand forests with moderate stunting—often indicated by the presence of certain key tree species—and areas of weathered clay-soil terraces. Though less commonly, mishana Tyrannulet can also be found in domed ombrotrophic peatlands and semi-dry forests, expanding its potential range considerably across regions with these habitat conditions.
