Thlypopsis is a genus of birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.
The genus Thlypopsis was introduced by the German ornithologists Jean Cabanis in 1851. [2] The name combines the Ancient Greek thlupis, a word for an unknown small bird, and opsis meaning "appearance". [3] The type species was subsequently designated as the orange-headed tanager (Thlypopsis sordida). [4] [5]
The chestnut-headed tanager was formerly placed in the genus Pyrrhocoma and the superciliaried hemispingus in Hemispingus. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that these two species were embedded in Thlypopsis. [6]
The genus contains eight species: [7]

 | Thlypopsis inornata | Buff-bellied tanager | Peru and far southern Ecuador |
 | Thlypopsis sordida | Orange-headed tanager | Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. |
 | Thlypopsis pyrrhocoma (formerly assigned to Pyrrhocoma) | Chestnut-headed tanager | east Paraguay, northeast Argentina, and south Brazil |

The brown tanager is a small South American bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is the only member of the genus Orchesticus.
Haplospiza is a small genus of birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. Formerly classified in the bunting and American sparrow family Emberizidae, more recent studies have shown it to belong in the Thraupidae. Its two members breed in subtropical or tropical moist forest in Central and South America. They are often associated with bamboo.
Hemithraupis is a small genus of passerine birds in the tanager family Thraupidae found in the forests of South America.
Coryphospingus is a small genus of finch-like tanagers found in South America. Coryphospingus was formerly classified in the family Emberizidae along with the buntings and American sparrows.
The black-goggled tanager is a species of bird in the family, Thraupidae. It is the only member of the genus Trichothraupis. It is found at low levels in forest and woodland in a large part of eastern and southern Brazil, eastern Paraguay and far north-eastern Argentina, with a disjunct population along the East Andean slope in Peru, Bolivia and far north-western Argentina. While generally common and widespread, and consequently considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International and IUCN, the population associated with the Andes is relatively local and uncommon.
Phrygilus is a genus of mainly Andean seed-eating tanagers commonly known as sierra finches. Phrygilos means finch in Ancient Greek. Traditionally classified in the bunting and American sparrow family Emberizidae, more recent studies have shown them to belong in the Thraupidae.
Poospiza is a genus of finch-like birds in the tanager family Thraupidae that are found in both the South American lowlands and the Andes mountains. Generally they are arboreal feeders in light woodland and scrub. All have extensive grey to their plumage, and have—often bold—white or rufous markings.
The chestnut-headed tanager is a species of bird in the tanager family Thraupidae this is found in the Atlantic Forest of southeast Brazil, eastern Paraguay and far northeastern Argentina. It was formerly the only member of the genus Pyrrhocoma but is now placed in Thlypopsis.
The hooded mountain tanager is a species of bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is the only member of the genus Buthraupis. This yellow, blue and black tanager is found in forest, woodland and shrub in the Andean highlands of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. At 23 centimetres (9.1 in) and 85 grams (3.0 oz), it is one of the largest tanagers.
The blackish antbird is a species of passerine bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, and Suriname. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and heavily degraded former forest.
The long-tailed reed finch is a species of South American bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is the only member of its genus Donacospiza.
The guira tanager is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae.
The firefinches form a genus, Lagonosticta, of small seed-eating African birds in the family Estrildidae.
Percnostola is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the family Thamnophilidae.
The mourning sierra finch is a species of South American bird in the tanager family Thraupidae. It is the only member of the genus Rhopospina.
Terenura is a genus of insectivorous passerine birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae.
Myiothlypis is a genus of New World warblers, best represented in Central and South America. This is one of only two warbler genera that are well represented in the latter continent. All of these species were formerly placed in the genus Basileuterus.
Machlolophus is a genus of birds in the tit family. The species were formerly placed with many others in the genus Parus but were moved to Machlolophus based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis published in 2013 that showed that the members formed a distinct clade.
Dendrocoptes is a genus of woodpeckers in the native to Eurasia.
Pseudospingus is a genus of warbler-like birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. They are found in highland forests in South America.
