Schistochlamys is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.
The genus Schistochlamys was introduced in 1850 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach. [1] [2] The type species is a subspecies of the cinnamon tanager with the trinomial Schistochlamys ruficapillus capistrata. [3] [4] [5] The genus name combines the Late Latin schistus meaning "slate" and the Ancient Greek khlamus meaning "mantle" or "cloak". [6]
The genus contains two species: [5]

Penelopides is the genus of relatively small, primarily frugivorous hornbills restricted to forested areas of the Philippines. Their common name, tarictic hornbills, is an onomatopoetic reference to the main call of several of them. They have a ridged plate-like structure on the base of their mandible. All are sexually dimorphic: males of all species are whitish-buff and black, while females of all except the Mindoro hornbill are primarily black.

It has traditionally been placed in the family Emberizidae, but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that it belongs to the tanager family Thraupidae. It is strongly sexually dichromatic, with males being blackish above and rich orange-red below and on the crown, while females are overall dull greyish-buff.
