Melanospiza is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.

Taxonomy and species list

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]Paynter, Raymond A. Jr, ed. (1970). Check-List of Birds of the World. Vol. Volume 13. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Museum of Comparative Zoology. p. 160. {{cite book}}: |volume= has extra text (help)</ref> 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 belongs in the subfamily Coerebinae within the tanager family Thraupidae.^[4]

The genus contains the following two species:^[5]
