Chlorophonia
''Chlorophonia'' is a genus of finches in the family Fringillidae. The Chlorophonias are endemic to the Neotropics. They are small, mostly bright green birds that inhabit humid forests and nearby habitats, especially in highlands. The genus ''Chlorophonia'' was erected in 1851 by the French ornithologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''khlōros'' meaning "green" with the genus name ''Euphonia'' that had been introduced in 1806 by the French zoologist Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest. The type species was designated as the blue-naped chlorophonia (''Chlorophonia cyaneaby'') by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1855. The genus was once considered as a member of the tanager family, 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 Neotropica .... S ...

Golden-browed Chlorophonia
The golden-browed chlorophonia (''Chlorophonia callophrys'') is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama.
