Stilpnia
''Stilpnia'' is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. Many of these tanagers have a contrasting cap or hood and most have green or gold and throats. Taxonomy and species list These species were formerly placed in the genus '' Tangara''. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that ''Tangara'' was polyphyletic. In the rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, the genus, ''Stilpnia'', was erected with the black-headed tanager as the type species. The genus name is from the Ancient Greek στιλπνή/''stilpni'' meaning "glittering" or "glistening". The genus contains 14 species: * Black-headed tanager, ''Stilpnia cyanoptera'' * Silver-backed tanager, ''Stilpnia viridicollis'' * Sira tanager, ''Stilpnia phillipsi'' * Straw-backed tanager, ''Stilpnia argyrofenges'' * Black-capped tanager, ''Stilpnia heinei'' * Golden-hooded tanager, ''Stilpnia larvata'' * Blue-necked tanager, ''Stilpnia cyanicollis'' * Masked tanager, ''Stilpnia ni ...

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.

Black-capped Tanager
The black-capped tanager (''Stilpnia heinei'') is one of the many species of Neotropical bird in the family Thraupidae. It lives in mountains of Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela year-round. This bird can often be found in open landscapes, alone or in pairs, hiding under branches of trees and bushes. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. Taxonomy and nomenclature The black-capped tanager was described in 1851, from a type specimen collected in Colombia. It is a member of the genus '' Stilpnia'', in the tanager family, Thraupidae. In Spanish, it is locally called "Tangara gorrinegra" or "Tangara coroninegra". The black-capped tanager is a songbird (Passeriformes). The tanagers are a very diverse group with over 300 species that account for more than 10% of all birds in the Neotropics. The genus name ''Stilpnia'' was proposed in 2016 instead of ''Tangara'' for ''T. heinei'' in order to match the phylogenetic relatio ...

Burnished-buff Tanager
The burnished-buff tanager (''Stilpnia cayana''), also known as the rufous-crowned tanager, is a common South American species of bird in the family Thraupidae. Distribution and habitat It is found in the northern Guianas, most of Venezuela and east-central Colombia; also near the Amazon River outlet in Brazil, as well as most of the east of that country, Paraguay and northeast Argentina. It also occurs very locally in Bolivia and Peru. It can be seen in virtually any semi-open habitat with trees, including human-altered habitats such as gardens, plantations and parks. Description There are several subspecies of the burnished-buff tanager, them falling into two main groups: The northern and western ''cayana'' group, and the southern and eastern ''flava'' group (the subspecies ''huberi'' from Marajó Island is intermediate between the two main groups). Males of the ''cayana'' group have an orange-rufous crown, black mask, and cream underparts distinctly tinged blue on the throat ...

Chestnut-backed Tanager
The chestnut-backed tanager (''Stilpnia preciosa'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae.

It shares borders with Argentina to its west and southwest and Brazil to its north and northeast; while bordering .... It is closely related to the rarer black-backed tanager, and females of the two species are indistinguishable. This bird is characterized by its green breast, and chestnut colored back. Before research was completed, this animal was often mistaken for a result of a mutated black-backed tanager (''Stilpnia peruviana''). It is now known that this is not the case, and though the two species are related, they are not in fact the same species. The tanager is not in any danger, and is plentiful in the areas that it resides in. Further studies show that t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Green-capped Tanager
The green-capped tanager (''Stilpnia meyerdeschauenseei'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is endemic to forest edge and gardens at altitudes of 1450–2200 m. in Puno, Peru, and La Paz, Bolivia. It is fairly common and possibly spreading, Schulenberg T, Stotz D, Lane D, O'Neill J, Parker T III (2007). ''Birds of Peru.'' Christopher Helm Publishers. but its small population has led to it being evaluated as Near Threatened by BirdLife International and IUCN. It closely resembles the widespread burnished-buff tanager (''S. cayana''), but its mantle is bluer (male) or greener (female), and its crown is greenish-buff. Its specific name commemorates the ornithologist Rodolphe Meyer de Schauensee.

Black-backed Tanager
The black-backed tanager (''Stilpnia peruviana'') is a bird species in the Thraupidae family. It is endemic to the forests and shrubs of south-eastern Brazil. When first described, it was mistakenly believed that it originates from Peru, leading to the misleading scientific name ''peruviana''. It is closely related to the chestnut-backed tanager, and the two have sometimes been considered conspecific. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species.
