These tyrant flycatchers are found in open plains and dry scrub of southeastern South America. Their diet includes insects, small mammals, lizards, amphibians, and the eggs and chicks of other birds. Breeding in the Patagonian slopes between October and March, they build cup-shaped nests from stems, lining them with grass and feathers.
