Brazilian Tanager (Ramphocelus bresilia)
About the Brazilian Tanager
The Brazilian tanager (Ramphocelus bresilia) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae, the tanagers and allies. It is endemic to Brazil though possibly has occurred in Argentina. The Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus formally described the Brazilian tanager in 1766 in the twelfth edition of his Systema Naturae. He coined the binomial name Tanagra bresilia. It is now one of eight species in the genus Ramphocelus which was introduced by the French zoologist Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest in 1805. Several taxonomic systems spell the specific epithet bresilius. The Brazilian tanager has two subspecies, the nominate R. b. bresilia (Linnaeus, 1766) and R. b. dorsalis (Sclater, PL, 1855).
