Habitat:
It occurs in humid forest, secondary growth and locally in cerrado, in the lowlands and foothills (del Hoyo et al. 1999, van Perlo 2009). Although commonly recorded in open areas and forest edges, it is mostly seen near large forest patches and rarely found in urban areas (G. Kohler in litt. 2014). It may undertake short-distance seasonal movements, but its ecology and behaviour are not well known (del Hoyo et al. 2021).

Range:
Lophornis chalybeus occurs in Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Paraná and Santa Catarina in south-eastern Brazil, possibly as far north as Espirito Santo.

Conservation:
Conservation and research actions underway
No targeted actions are known, but the species occurs in several protected areas.

Conservation and research actions proposed
Accurately quantify the population size and trend. Determine the species' tolerance of habitat degradation and fragmentation. Investigate the subpopulation structure. Monitor the population trend. Ensure effective management of protected areas where it occurs.
