Bangsia is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. They are native to humid forests in Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Costa Rica.
Taxonomy and species list[edit]
The genus Bangsia was introduce in 1919 by the ornithologist Thomas Edward Penard with a subspecies of the blue-and-gold tanager Buthraupis arcaei caeruleigularis as the type. The genus name honours the American ornithologist Outram Bangs.[1] A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Bangsia was sister to the genus Wetmorethraupis which contains only a single species, the orange-throated tanager.[2]
The genus contains six species:[3]
- Blue-and-gold tanager, Bangsia arcaei
- Black-and-gold tanager, Bangsia melanochlamys
- Golden-chested tanager, Bangsia rothschildi
- Moss-backed tanager, Bangsia edwardsi
- Gold-ringed tanager, Bangsia aureocincta
- Yellow-green tanager, Bangsia flavovirens
