See text The cinnamon-throated hermit (Phaethornis nattereri) is a species in the hummingbird family Trochilidae.

[4][5][6][3][7][8] However, the "Maranhao" hermit only occurs in the separate northern part of the range of P. nattereri, and as it appears to have different vocalizations from those of the other population it might warrant recognition as a distinct species, P. maranhaoensis.

Females are similar to the male but with a paler throat and longer central tail feathers.

One includes eastern Bolivia and the adjacent Brazilian states of Mato Grosso and Rondônia.

The species inhabits several non-rainforest landscapes including semi-deciduous, secondary, and gallery forests, cerrado, and caatinga.

"[10] The IUCN has assessed the cinnamon-throated hermit as being of Least Concern, though its population size has not been determined and is believed to be decreasing.
