Chlorospingus
Chlorospingus is a genus of perching birds, the bush tanagers, traditionally placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae). This seems to be in error according to more recent studies which suggest they are closely related to the genus Arremonops in the Emberizidae (buntings and American sparrows).
It contains these species:
- Ashy-throated bush tanager, C. canigularis
- Yellow-throated bush tanager, C. flavigularis
-
Common bush tanager, C. flavopectus
- Dusky-headed bush tanager, C. (flavopectus) postocularis
- White-fronted bush tanager, C. (flavopectus) albifrons
- Dwight's bush tanager, C. (flavopectus) dwighti
- Wetmore's bush tanager, C. (flavopectus) wetmorei
- Yellow-green bush tanager, C. flavovirens
- Pirre bush tanager, C. inornatus
- Yellow-whiskered bush tanager, C. parvirostris
- Sooty-capped bush tanager, C. pileatus
- Dusky bush tanager, C. semifuscus
- Tacarcuna bush tanager, C. tacarcunae
The taxonomy and systematics of the common bush tanager are under review; it appears to be a superspecies or even a complex of superspecies.
