Chlorochrysa is a genus of small colourful Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.
The genus Chlorochrysa was introduced in 1851 by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte. [1] In a subsequent publication he designated the type species as the orange-eared tanager. [2] [3] The name combines the Ancient Greek khlōros meaning "green" and khrusos meaning "gold". [4] The genus contains three species. [5]
