Taxonomy and species list
The genus Heterospingus was introduced in 1898 by the American ornithologist Robert Ridgway with the sulphur-rumped tanager as the type species.[1][2] The name combines the Ancient Greek heteros meaning "different" with spingos meaning "finch".[3]
The genus contains two species:[4]
