Microspingus
''Microspingus'' is a genus of warbler-like birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. They are found in highland forest in South America. Taxonomy and species list A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus '' Poospiza'' was polyphyletic. In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera the genus ''Microspingus'' was resurrected. It had been introduced in 1874 by the Polish zoologist Władysław Taczanowski with the three-striped hemispingus as the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ''mikros'' meaning "small" with ''spingos'' meaning "finch". The genus ''Microspingus'' is the sister taxon In phylogenetics, a sister group or sister taxon, also called an adelphotaxon, comprises the closest relative(s) of another given unit in an evolutionary tree.

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 Neotropical birds. Traditionally, the family contained around 240 species of mostly brightly colored fruit-eating birds. As more of these birds were studied using modern molecular techniques, it became apparent that the traditional families were not monophyletic. '' Euphonia'' and '' Chlorophonia'', which were once considered part of the tanager family, are now treated as members of the Fringillidae, in their own subfamily ( Euphoniinae). Likewise, the genera '' Piranga'' (which includes the scarlet tanager, summer tanager, and western tanager), ''Chlorothraupis'', and '' Habia'' appear to be members of the cardinal family, and have been reassigned to that family by the American Ornithological Society.
