Anisognathus is a genus of boldly colored tanagers found in the highland forests and woodlands of South America.
The genus Anisognathus was introduced in 1850 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach. [1] The type species was subsequently designated as the scarlet-bellied mountain tanager by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte. [2] [3] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek anisos meaning "unequal" and gnathos meaning "lower jaw". [4] Five species are placed in this genus. [5]
