About the Cone-billed Tanager
The cone-billed tanager (Conothraupis mesoleuca) is an Endangered species of bird is a bird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers and allies. It is endemic to Brazil. The cone-billed tanager was formally described by Jacques Berlioz in 1939 with the binomial Rhynchothraupis mesoleuca. The genus was erected just for it. In 1951 James Bond reassigned to its present genus Conothraupis to join the black-and-white tanager (C. speculigera). He did this with Berlioz' agreement; Berlioz had raised the possibility that the two were closely related. The cone-billed tanager is monotypic.
