Conothraupis is a genus of South American birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.
The genus Conothraupis was introduced in 1880 by the English zoologist Philip Sclater to accommodate the black-and-white tanager. [1] [2] The name combines the Latin conos meaning "cone" with the Ancient Greek thraupis, an unknown small bird which in ornithology is used to indicate a tanager. [3] The genus is a member of the subfamily Tachyphoninae within the family Thraupidae and contains two species. [4] [5]
