Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Dacnis'' was introduced in 1816 by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier with the blue dacnis as the type species. The name is from the Ancient Greek ''daknis'', an unidentified bird from Egypt listed by Hesychius of Alexandria and Sextus Pompeius Festus. This genus is placed together with the genera ''Tesina'' and ''Cyanerpes'' in the subfamily Dacninae.

Blue Dacnis
The blue dacnis or turquoise honeycreeper (''Dacnis cayana'') is a small passerine bird. This member of the tanager family is found from Nicaragua to Panama, on Trinidad, and in South America south to Bolivia and northern Argentina. It is widespread and often common, especially in parts of its South American range. Taxonomy In 1760, the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the blue dacnis in his ''Ornithologie'' based on a specimen collected in Cayenne in French Guiana. He used the French name ''Le Pepit bleu de Cayenne'' and the Latin name ''Sylvia cayanensis caerulea''. The two stars (**) at the start of the paragraph indicates that Brisson based his description on the examination of a specimen. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the Binomial nomenclature, binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his ''Syste ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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.
