Abstract
We report the first records of the Masked Tityra (Tityra semifasciata) for the state of Paraná, in the city of Foz do Iguaçu, between July and September 2014. These records extend the known distribution range of the species and establish a new southern limit for its geographic distribution within Brazil. Although the species occur in nearby regions, it had never been recorded before in southern Brazil, possibly due to confusion with the congeneric Black-tailed Tityra (Tityra cayana).
