Thlypopsis
''Thlypopsis'' is a genus of birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Thlypopsis'' was introduced by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis in 1851. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''thlupis'', a word for an unknown small bird, and ''opsis'' meaning "appearance". The type species was subsequently designated as the orange-headed tanager (''Thlypopsis sordida''). The chestnut-headed tanager was formerly placed in the genus ''Pyrrhocoma'' and the superciliaried hemispingus in ''Hemispingus''. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that these two species were embedded in ''Thlypopsis''. The genus contains eight species: References Thlypopsis, Bird genera {{Thraupidae-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
