Chlorothraupis is a genus of bird in the family Cardinalidae. It was long considered to be a member of the tanager family (Thraupidae), as their common names suggest, but this is false. [1] They are close relatives of the genus Habia, the "ant-tanagers".

Species

The genus contains the following four species: [2]

Carmiol's tanager Chlorothraupis carmioli Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and far north-western Colombia
Yellow-lored tanager Chlorothraupis frenata Colombia, Peru, Bolivia
