Bangsia
''Bangsia'' is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. They are native to humid forests in Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Costa Rica. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Bangsia'' was introduce in 1919 by the ornithologist Thomas Edward Penard with a subspecies of the blue-and-gold tanager ''Buthraupis arcaei caeruleigularis'' as the type. The specific epithet was chosen to honour the American ornithologist Outram Bangs. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus ''Bangsia'' was sister to the genus ''Wetmorethraupis'' which contains only a single species, the orange-throated tanager. The genus contains six species: * Blue-and-gold tanager, ''Bangsia arcaei'' * Black-and-gold tanager The black-and-gold tanager (''Bangsia melanochlamys'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is endemic to Colombia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. Refer ...

Gold-ringed Tanager
The gold-ringed tanager (''Bangsia aureocincta'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, endemic to Colombia. It is a plump, relatively short-tailed Tanager with a distinctive gold ring around its face. It inhabits a narrow band of high-altitude cloud forest on the slopes of the western cordillera of the Andes, where it survives on a diet of fruit and insects. The bird is found in small numbers within a limited geographical area, and much of its breeding biology has yet to be described. It is considered a vulnerable species, threatened by habitat loss. Taxonomy and systematics The species was first formally described in 1910 as '' Buthraupis aureocincta'' by the Austrian ornithologist Carl Eduard Hellmayr, based on a specimen in the collection of the "Zoological Museum of Munich" (probably the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology). The specimen was collected by M.G. Palmer at the 6700 foot level of the Tatamá mountain (Cerro Tatamá) in the Chocó Department of Colombia ...

Golden-chested Tanager
The golden-chested tanager (''Bangsia rothschildi'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Etymology Both parts of the Latin binomial honor early ornithologists. ''Bangsia'' is named for Outram Bangs, a United States zoologist and collector; the specific epithet ''rothschildi'' honors Lionel Walter 2nd Baron Rothschild of Trig who was an English ornithologist, entomologist Entomology () is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term "insect" was less specific, and historically the definition of entomology would also include the study of animals in other arthropod groups, such as arach ..., collector, and publisher. Distribution ''Bangsia rothschildi'' is endemic to the northwestern South American countries of Colombia and Ecuador. Habitat The Golden-chested Tanager can be fo ...

Thraupidae
The tanagers (singular ) comprise the bird family Thraupidae, in the order Passeriformes. The family has a Neotropical distribution and is the second-largest family of birds. It represents about 4% of all avian species and 12% of the Neotropical birds. Traditionally, the family contained around 240 species of mostly brightly colored fruit-eating birds. As more of these birds were studied using modern molecular techniques, it became apparent that the traditional families were not monophyletic. ''Euphonia'' and ''Chlorophonia'', which were once considered part of the tanager family, are now treated as members of the Fringillidae, in their own subfamily (Euphoniinae). Likewise, the genera ''Piranga'' (which includes the scarlet tanager, summer tanager, and western tanager), '' Chlorothraupis'', and '' Habia'' appear to be members of the cardinal family, and have been reassigned to that family by the American Ornithological Society.

Yellow-green Tanager
The yellow-green tanager (''Bangsia flavovirens'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It was formerly known as the yellow-green bush tanager or yellow-green chlorospingus as it used to be placed in the genus ''Chlorospingus'' with other bush tanagers. ''Chlorospingus'' as a whole was formerly placed in the tanager family Thraupidae, but was transferred to the New World sparrows when genetic analysis of two ''Chlorospingus'' species revealed they were embedded within the latter family. However, more recently, molecular analysis of additional ''Chlorospingus'' species found that the yellow-green tanager is not a member of ''Chlorospingus'' (or any other New World sparrow) but a true tanager after all, most closely related to the blue-and-gold tanager, so the species was returned to Thraupidae and placed in the genus ''Bangsia''. The yellow-green tanager is found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropi ...

Orange-throated Tanager
The orange-throated tanager (''Wetmorethraupis sterrhopteron'') is a species of bird in the tanager family Thraupidae that is found very locally in humid forests around the Ecuador-Peru border. As a species it is considered threatened. The orange-throated tanager is the only member of the genus ''Wetmorethraupis'', named after the ornithologist Alexander Wetmore. It is closely related to members of the genus ''Bangsia''. Taxonomy The orange-throated tanager was formally described by George Lowery and John O'Neill in 1964. The authors placed the species in a new genus ''Wetmorethraupis'' to give the binomial name ''Wetmorethraupis sterrhopteron''. The genus name honours the American ornithologist Alexander Wetmore by combining his name with the genus name ''Thraupis'', the type genus of the tanager family Thraupidae. The specific epithet combines the Ancient Greek ''sterrhos '' meaning "stiff" or "hard" with ''pteron'' meaning feather. A molecular phylogenetic study published in ...

Ecuador
Ecuador ( ; ; Quechua: ''Ikwayur''; Shuar: ''Ecuador'' or ''Ekuatur''), officially the Republic of Ecuador ( es, República del Ecuador, which literally translates as "Republic of the Equator"; Quechua: ''Ikwadur Ripuwlika''; Shuar: ''Ekuatur Nunka''), is a country in northwestern South America, bordered by Colombia on the north, Peru on the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. Ecuador also includes the Galápagos Islands in the Pacific, about west of the mainland. The country's capital and largest city is Quito. The territories of modern-day Ecuador were once home to a variety of Indigenous groups that were gradually incorporated into the Inca Empire during the 15th century. The territory was colonized by Spain during the 16th century, achieving independence in 1820 as part of Gran Colombia, from which it emerged as its own sovereign state in 1830. The legacy of both empires is reflected in Ecuador's ethnically diverse population, with most of its mill ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
