Loriotus is a genus of birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. The species now placed in this genus were formerly placed in the genus Tachyphonus.

Taxonomy and species list[edit]

The three species now assigned to Loriotus were traditionally placed in the genus Tachyphonus. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Tachyphonus was polyphyletic.^[1] In the subsequent reorganization the genus Loriotus was resurrected for these three species.^[1]^[2]^[3] The genus had been introduced in 1821 by the Polish zoologist Feliks Paweł Jarocki with the flame-crested tanager as the type species.^[4] The name is derived from the French word loriot that is used for the Old World orioles.^[5]

The three species in the genus are:^[3]

Yellow-crested tanager	Loriotus rufiventer	Peru, Acre and northwestern Bolivia
White-shouldered tanager	Loriotus luctuosus	Honduras to Panama, South America south to Ecuador and southern Brazil, and on Trinidad.
