Taxonomy and species list
The genus Embernagra was introduced in 1831 by the French naturalist René Lesson with the Pampa finch as the type species.[2][3] The name combines the names of two genera: Emberiza introduced for the buntings by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 and Tanagra introduced for the tanagers by Linnaeus in 1764.[4]
This genus was traditionally placed with the buntings and New World sparrows in the subfamily Emberizinae within the family Emberizidae.[3] A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Embernagra was embedded in the tanager family Thraupidae. Within Thraupidae Embernagra is now placed with Coryphaspiza and Emberizoides in the subfamily Emberizoidinae.[5][6]
The genus contains two species:[6]
