Thlypopsis
''Thlypopsis'' is a genus of birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. Taxonomy and species list The genus ''Thlypopsis'' was introduced by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis in 1851. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''thlupis'', a word for an unknown small bird, and ''opsis'' meaning "appearance". The type species was subsequently designated as the orange-headed tanager (''Thlypopsis sordida''). 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''. The genus contains eight species: References Thlypopsis, Bird genera {{Thraupidae-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Orange-headed Tanager
The orange-headed tanager (''Thlypopsis sordida'') is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. Native to South America, it is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela, where it inhabits Ecological succession, successional vegetation, ''cerrado'', riparian forest, shrub, brush, and open woodland. Males of the species have sandy-gray , cinnamon to buff , white on the center of the lower breast, belly, and tail, and rufous-orange and yellow heads. Females are similar but duller. The orange-headed tanager is omnivorous, feeding on insects, spiders, fruit, and seeds. It forages in an active manner, Gleaning (birds), gleaning prey while hopping or, more infrequently, catching it in flight. Nesting has been recorded in December, and Clutch (eggs), clutches contain two bluish-white eggs with brown markings. The species is listed as being of Least-concern species, least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on ...

Chestnut-headed Tanager
The chestnut-headed tanager (''Thlypopsis pyrrhocoma'') is a species of bird in the tanager family Thraupidae this is found in the Atlantic Forest of southeast Brazil, eastern Paraguay and far northeastern Argentina. It was formerly the only member of the genus ''Pyrrhocoma'' but is now placed in ''Thlypopsis''. Taxonomy The chestnut-headed tanager was species description, formally described in 1844 by the English naturalist Hugh Edwin Strickland under the binomial name ''Tachyphonus ruficeps''. The species was subsequently placed in the monotypic genus ''Pyrrhocoma'' by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the chestnut-headed tanager was embedded in a clade containing members of the genus ''Thlypopsis''. The genera were therefore merged but as ''Thlypopsis'' already contained the rust-and-yellow tanager as ''Thlypopsis ruficeps'' d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837, a new specific epithet ''pyrrhocoma'' was coined for the che ...

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.
