Embernagra
''Embernagra'' is a genus of South American finch-like birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Embernagra'' was introduced in 1831 by the French naturalist René Lesson with the Pampa finch as the type species. The name combines the names of two genera: ''Emberiza'' introduced for the buntings by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 and ''Tanagra'' introduced for the tanagers by Linnaeus in 1764. This genus was traditionally placed with the buntings and New World sparrows in the subfamily Emberizinae within the family Emberizidae. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that ''Embernagra'' was embedded in 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 .... Within Thraupidae ''Embernagra'' is now placed with '' ...
