Chlorospingus
Chlorospingus is a genus of perching birds, the bush tanagers, traditionally placed in the tanager family. More recent studies which suggest they are closely related to the genus Arremonops in the Passerellidae. As of July, 2017, the American Ornithological Society assigns the genus to the new family Passerellidae, which contains the New World 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. postocularis
- * White-fronted bush tanager, C. albifrons
- * Dwight's bush tanager, C. dwighti
- * Wetmore's bush tanager, C. wetmorei
- 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.
