Stilpnia is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.
Many of these tanagers have a contrasting cap or hood and most have green or gold ear-coverts and throats. [1]
These species were formerly placed in the genus Tangara. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Tangara was polyphyletic. [2] In the rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, the genus, Stilpnia, was erected with the black-headed tanager as the type species. The genus name is from the Ancient Greek στιλπνή/stilpni meaning "glittering" or "glistening". [1]
The genus contains 14 species: [3]
- Black-headed tanager, Stilpnia cyanoptera
- Silver-backed tanager, Stilpnia viridicollis
- Sira tanager, Stilpnia phillipsi
- Straw-backed tanager, Stilpnia argyrofenges
- Black-capped tanager, Stilpnia heinei
- Golden-hooded tanager, Stilpnia larvata
- Blue-necked tanager, Stilpnia cyanicollis
- Masked tanager, Stilpnia nigrocincta
- Black-backed tanager, Stilpnia peruviana
- Chestnut-backed tanager, Stilpnia preciosa
- Green-capped tanager, Stilpnia meyerdeschauenseei
- Scrub tanager, Stilpnia vitriolina
- Burnished-buff tanager, Stilpnia cayana
- Lesser Antillean tanager, Stilpnia cucullata
