Taxonomy and species list
The genus Thlypopsis was introduced by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis in 1851.[1] The name combines the Ancient Greek thlupis, a word for an unknown small bird, and opsis meaning "appearance".[2] The type species was subsequently designated as the orange-headed tanager (Thlypopsis sordida).[3][4]
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.[5]
The genus contains eight species:[6]
