Driophlox
''Driophlox'' is a genus of passerine birds in the family Cardinalidae. The four species placed in this genus were formerly placed with the red-crowned ant tanager in the genus ''Habia''. Taxonomy The species now placed in this genus were formerly placed with the red-crowned ant tanager in the genus ''Habia''. Molecular phylogenetic analysis found that the genus ''Habia'' was paraphyletic. To resolve the paraphyly, four species were moved from ''Habia'' to a new genus ''Driophlox'' that was erected with ''Phoenicothraupis gutturalis'' Sclater, PL, 1854, (the sooty ant tanager) as the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek Ancient Greek (, ; ) includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the classical antiquity, ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC.

Cardinalidae
Cardinalidae (sometimes referred to as "cardinal-grosbeaks" or simply "cardinals") is a family of New World-Endemism, endemic passerine birds that consists of Cardinalis, cardinals, grosbeaks, and Passerina, buntings. It also includes several other genera such as the tanager-like ''Piranga'' and the warbler-like ''Granatellus''. Membership of this family is not easily defined by a single or even a set of physical characteristics, but instead by molecular work. Among songbirds, they range from average-sized to relatively large, and have stout features. Some species have large, heavy bills. Members of this group are beloved for their brilliant red, yellow, or blue plumages seen in many of the breeding males in this family. Most species are monogamous breeders that nest in Bird nest#Cup, open-cup nests, with parents taking turns incubating the eggs and taking care of their young. Most are arboreal species, although the dickcissel (''Spiza americana'') is a ground-dwelling prairie b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Red-throated Ant Tanager
The red-throated ant tanager (''Driophlox fuscicauda'') is a medium-sized passerine bird. This species is a resident breeder on the Caribbean slopes from southeastern Mexico to eastern Panama. It was formerly placed with the red-crowned ant tanager in the genus ''Habia''. It was usually considered an aberrant kind of tanager and placed in the Thraupidae, but is actually closer to the cardinals (Cardinalidae). Consequently, it can be argued that referring to the members of this genus as ant tanagers is misleading, but no other common name has gained usage. Red-throated ant tanagers are long and weigh . Adult males are dull dusky red, somewhat paler below, and with a bright red throat and central crown. The female is brownish olive, paler and greyer below, and with a yellow throat and small dull yellow crown stripe. Young birds are brown and lack the throat and crown patches. Both sexes of this species are duller and darker than the related red-crowned ant tanager which occurs o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Driophlox Cristata
The crested ant tanager (''Driophlox cristata'') is a bird in the family Cardinalidae that is endemic to Colombia. It was formerly placed with the red-crowned ant tanager in the genus ''Habia''. Taxonomy and systematics The crested ant tanager was originally placed in family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. In the early 2000s, DNA analysis revealed that all the members of ''Habia'' were more closely related to the cardinals, so they were moved to family ''Cardinalidae''.Hilty, S. (2020).

Driophlox Gutturalis
The sooty ant tanager (''Driophlox gutturalis'') is a species of bird in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae). It was formerly placed with the true tanagers in the family Thraupidae and was assigned to the genus ''Habia'' with the red-crowned ant tanager. It is endemic to Colombia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and secondary forest. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss. Taxonomy The sooty ant tanager was formally described in 1854 by the English zoologist Philip Sclater under the binomial name ''Phoenicothraupis gutturalis''. The specific epithet ''gutturalis'' is Latin meaning "of the throat". The sooty ant tanager is a monotypic species. Description The sooty ant tanager is in overall length. The adult male is dark grey with a conspicuous scarlet crest (not always raised) and a rosy-red throat. The adult female is duller with a pinkish-white throat. Distribution and habitat This bird is found in northwest Colombia, occurring in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Driophlox Atrimaxillaris
The black-cheeked ant tanager (''Driophlox atrimaxillaris'') is a species of bird in the family Cardinalidae. It is endemic to Costa Rica. It was formerly placed with the red-crowned ant tanager in the genus '' Habia''. Taxonomy and systematics The original description of the black-cheeked ant tanager assigned it the binomial ''Phoenicothraupis atrimaxillaris'' and placed it in family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. Genus ''Habia'' was later shown to have priority so the species was renamed to its current binomial. In the early 2000s, DNA analysis revealed that all the members of ''Habia'' were more closely related to the cardinals, so they were moved to family ''Cardinalidae''.Pott, C., D. J. Lebbin, E.
