Taxonomy and species list
[edit]The genus Chrysothlypis was introduced in 1912 by the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch with the black-and-yellow tanager as the type species.[1][2] The name combines the Ancient Greek khrusos meaning "gold" with thlupis, an unknown bird.[3]
The genus contains two species:[4]
