Resumo. – Extensões geográficas do Papa-moscas-de-costas-cinzentas (Polystictus superciliaris) e do Tibirro-rupestre (Embernagra longicauda) com uma revisão sobre suas distribuições geográficas. – Nós apresentamos novas localidades de ocorrência para o Papa-moscas-de-costas-cinzentas (Polystictus superciliaris) e para o Tibirro-rupestre (Embernagra longicauda), duas espécies de aves anteriormente conside- radas como endêmicas da Cadeia do Espinhaço, leste do Brasil, e do bioma do cerrado. Nós também mos- tramos uma revisão da distribuição geográfica destas duas espécies baseada em nossos estudos de campo, consultas em museus e bibliografia. Nossos registros estendem a distribuição destas espécies para outros sistemas orográficos, especialmente nos campos de altitude dos topos de montanha da região da Mata Atlântica. A ocorrência destas espécies fora da Cadeia do Espinhaço pode ser explicada por variações cli- mático-vegetacionais no passado (especialmente no caso do Papa-moscas-de-costas-cinzentas). Abstract. – We present range extensions for the Gray-backed Tachuri (Polystictus superciliaris) and the Pale- throated Serra-finch (Embernagra longicauda), two bird species previously considered endemic to the Espin- haço Range, eastern Brazil, as well as endemic to the cerrado region. We also provide a revision on the geographic distribution for these species based on our own fieldwork, search for specimens deposited in museums, and bibliographic review. Our records extend the current known distribution of these species to new mountain ranges, especially in the “campos de altitude” of the mountain tops located in the Atlantic forest region. The occurrence of these species outside the Espinhaço Range is suggested to be related to past climatic-vegetational changes (especially for the Gray-backed Tachuri). Accepted 18 March 2003. Key words: Polystictus superciliaris, Embernagra longicauda, geographic distribution, Espinhaço Range, Brazil.
