Conothraupis is a genus of South American birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.

Taxonomy and species list[edit]

The genus Conothraupis was introduced in 1880 by the English zoologist Philip Sclater to accommodate the black-and-white tanager.^[1]^[2] The name combines the Latin conos meaning "cone" with the Ancient Greek thraupis, an unknown small bird which in ornithology is used to indicate a tanager.^[3] The genus is a member of the subfamily Tachyphoninae within the family Thraupidae and contains two species.^[4]^[5]
