The genus name is from Ancient Greek and combines the mythical figure ''Atlas (mythology), Atlas'' with ''petēs'', meaning "flyer".

Moustached Brushfinch
The moustached brushfinch (''Atlapetes albofrenatus'') is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae. It is found in northern Colombia, where its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and heavily degraded former forest. Taxonomy and systematics The moustached brushfinch was first formally described in 1940 by the French ornithologist Auguste Boissonneau. He named it ''Tanagra (arremon) albo-frenatus'', considering it to be part of the Tanager family. The International Ornithological Congress and the Handbook of the Birds of the World consider the moustached brushfinch to be monotypic - i.e. having no subspecies. The eBird/Clements and Howard and Moore checklists include the Merida brushfinch - ''A. albofrenatus meridaeas'' - as a subspecies of the moustached brushfinch. A recent study of the mitochondrial DNA gene sequences for the family Passerellidae indicates that the moustached brushfinch is most closely related to the Ochre-breaste ...

Yellow-headed Brushfinch
The yellow-headed brushfinch (''Atlapetes flaviceps'') is a Near Threatened species of bird in the American sparrow family, Passerellidae. It is endemic to Colombia. The common name is a semi-literal translation of the scientific name, with ''Atlapetes'' referring to the brushfinch genus, and ''flaviceps'' meaning "yellow-headed". This species has a yellow to dark olive head. The throat, chin, malar streak, lores, eye-ring, and ear patch are bright yellow in any case. The rest of the plumage is yellow with dark olive upperparts, wing and tail. The variation in the head color is not well explained, but it is likely that the olive-headed individuals are females and/or immature birds.SACC 006/ref> Common name It is sometimes still referred to by its obsolete common name, olive-headed brushfinch. That name is the result of an interesting error. ''A. flaviceps'' occurs in a very limited range, and is rare. Until the 1980s, it was known only from the two specimens collected on Octobe ...
