The genus Thryothorus is a wide spread genera in the Neotropics and nesting information is known for 85% of the species. I found four nests of the Moustached Wren (Thryothorus genibarbis) that were dome and bulky ball-like structures with a side entrance. All nests contained two white eggs with reddish-brown blotches. Daily nest attentiveness was 58.0% and average egg temperature was 32.5° C. Incubation behavior varied among nests and also throughout the incubation period, especially during early stages.
