It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. == Taxonomy and systematics == The moustached wren was at one time treated as conspecific with the whiskered wren (Pheugopedius mystaclais). It has four subspecies: P. g. juruanus Ihering (1905) P. g. genibarbis Swainson (1837) P. g. intercedens Hellmayr (1908) P. g. bolivianus Todd (1913) == Description == The moustached wren is 15.5 cm (6.1 in) long and weighs 16.2 to 22.8 g (0.57 to 0.80 oz). The nominate adult has an olivaceous gray-brown crown and nape, bright chestnut back and rump, and a dull brown tail with narrow blackish bars. It has a white supercilium and eyering, a black stripe through the eye, gray-black cheeks streaked with white, a white moustachial stripe, and a black malar stripe. Its throat and upper chest are white, its lower chest buffy, and its flanks and belly deeper brown.

P. g. juruanus is larger than the nominate and its underparts…
