Chlorospingus, the bush tanagers, are a genus of perching birds traditionally placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae). This seems to be in error according to more recent studies which suggest that they are closely related to the genus Arremonops in the Emberizidae (buntings and American sparrows). Considering this, bush tanager is arguably better replaced by chlorospingus, but this has yet to be proposed.
It contains the following species:
- Common bush tanager, Chlorospingus flavopectus
- Dusky-headed bush tanager, Chlorospingus (flavopectus) postocularis
- White-fronted bush tanager, Chlorospingus (flavopectus) albifrons
- Dwight's bush tanager, Chlorospingus (flavopectus) dwighti
- Wetmore's bush tanager, Chlorospingus (flavopectus) wetmorei
- Tacarcuna bush tanager, Chlorospingus tacarcunae
- Pirre bush tanager, Chlorospingus inornatus
- Dusky bush tanager, Chlorospingus semifuscus
- Sooty-capped bush tanager, Chlorospingus pileatus
- Yellow-whiskered bush tanager, Chlorospingus parvirostris
- Yellow-throated bush tanager, Chlorospingus flavigularis
- Yellow-green bush tanager, Chlorospingus flavovirens
- Ashy-throated bush tanager, Chlorospingus canigularis
The taxonomy and systematics of the common bush tanager are under review; it appears to be a superspecies or even a complex of superspecies.[1][2][3]
