Melanospiza is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.
Taxonomy and species list[edit]
The genus Melanospiza was introduced in 1897 by the American ornithologist Robert Ridgway with the Saint Lucia black finch as the type species.[1][2] The name combines the Ancient Greek melas meaning "black" and spiza meaning "finch".[3] Although traditionally placed with the buntings and New World sparrows in the family Emberizidae,[2] molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the genus is a member of the tanager family Thraupidae and belongs to the subfamily Coerebinae which also contains Darwin's finches.[4]
The genus contains the following two species:[5]
Image | Scientific name | Common name | Distribution |
---|---|---|---|
Melanospiza richardsoni | Saint Lucia black finch | Saint Lucia | |
Melanospiza bicolor | Black-faced grassquit | West Indies, northern coasts of Colombia and Venezuela |
