Taxonomy and species list

The genus Hemithraupis was introduced in 1851 by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis with the rufous-headed tanager as the type species.[2][3] The genus name combines the Ancient Greek hēmi meaning "half" or "small" with thraupis, an unknown small bird. In ornithology thraupis is used to denote a tanager.[4]
