Chlorospingus is a genus of perching birds, the bush tanagers, traditionally placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae). More recent studies which suggest they are closely related to the genus Arremonops in the Passerellidae (American sparrows). As of July, 2017, the American Ornithological Society assigns the genus to the new family Passerellidae, which contains the New World sparrows.[2]
It contains these species:
Ashy-throated chlorospingus, C. canigularis
Yellow-throated chlorospingus, C. flavigularis
Common chlorospingus, C. flavopectus
Dusky-headed chlorospingus, C. (flavopectus) postocularis
White-fronted chlorospingus, C. (flavopectus) albifrons
Dwight's chlorospingus, C. (flavopectus) dwighti
Wetmore's chlorospingus, C. (flavopectus) wetmorei
Pirre chlorospingus, C. inornatus
Yellow-whiskered chlorospingus, C. parvirostris
Sooty-capped chlorospingus, C. pileatus
Dusky chlorospingus, C. semifuscus
Tacarcuna chlorospingus, C. tacarcunae
The taxonomy and systematics of the common bush tanager are under review; it appears to be a superspecies or even a complex of superspecies.[3][4][5]
