Tangara (genus)
''Tangara '' is a large genus of birds of the tanager family. It includes 27 species. All are from the Neotropics, and while most are fairly widespread, some have small distributions and are threatened. They are fairly small, ranging in size from . This genus includes some of the most spectacularly colored birds of the world. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Tangara'' was introduced by the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760 with the paradise tanager (''Tangara chilensis'') as the type species. The name means "dancer" in the extinct Tupi language. The genus formerly included additional species. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that many of the members of ''Thraupis'' was embedded within ''Tangara''. In the reorganization to create monophyletic genera, rather than merging ''Thraupis'' into ''Tangara'' to create an unusually large genus with around 58 species, taxonomists chose to split off species from ''Tangara'' into four other genera.

Flame-faced Tanager
The flame-faced tanager (''Tangara parzudakii'') is a species of bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is endemic to South America and is found in the eastern Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is a distinctive-looking species with black and opalescent green upperparts, opalescent green and buff underparts, and a deep red and yellow face. The subspecies ''lunigera'' lacks the deep red on the face, which is replaced with orangish-red. It is omnivorous and feeds on fruit and arthropods. Foraging is conducted nearly exclusively on mossy branches. Breeding occurs in the rainy season. Eggs are laid in clutches of two, and are white with pale brown flecking concentrated on the larger end. Fledglings are fed by both parents. The flame-faced tanager is listed as being of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on the IUCN Red List. However, it is facing population ...

Metallic-green Tanager
The metallic-green tanager (''Tangara labradorides'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. Taxonomy and systematics The blue-and-black tanager was first described as ''Tanagra (Aglaia) labradorides'' by Auguste Boissonneau in 1840 on the basis of a specimen from Santa Fe, Colombia. The generic name ''Tangara'' comes from the Tupí word ''tangara'', meaning dancer. The specific name ''labradorides'' is from the French ''pierre de Labrador'' (feldspar), and the Ancient Greek -''ides'', meaning resembling, referring to the species' metallic blue-green color, which resembles that of feldspar. Metallic-green tanager is the official common name designated by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC). The metallic-green tanager is one of 27 species in the genus '' Tangara''. It was previously thought to form a species group with the blue-browed and golden- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The generic name '' Tangara'' is from the Tupí word ''tangara'', meaning dancer. The specific name ''cyanotis'' is from the Ancient Greek words κυανος (''kuanos''), meaning dark blue, and ωτις (''otis''), meaning eared.

Spangle-cheeked Tanager
The spangle-cheeked tanager (''Tangara dowii'') is a medium-sized passerine bird. This tanager is an endemic resident breeder in the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. Formerly considered conspecific with the green-naped tanager, it is now known that these two species differ geographically and genetically. It is common from about altitude in the canopy of epiphyte-laden wet mountain forests, and at lower levels in semi-open areas like clearings with trees, second growth and woodland edges. The bulky cup nest, lined with bromeliad leaves, is built in a tree fork or on a branch high amongst the epiphytes. The normal clutch is two eggs. The adult spangle-cheeked tanager is long and weighs . It has a mainly black head, upperparts and breast, with blue scaling on the breast, sides of the face and neck, and a rufous crown patch. The wings and tail have blue edgings. The rump is green and the belly is cinnamon. The sexes are very similar, but adult males have more extensive ...
