Cnemathraupis is a small genus of mountain tanagers found in forest and woodland in the Andes of South America. The two species are uncommon and relatively large tanagers with a contrasting blue, yellow and black plumage (golden-backed mountain tanager also has some brown; black-chested mountain tanager some green).
Taxonomy and species list
These species were formerly included with the hooded mountain tanager in the genus Buthraupis. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that Buthraupis was polyphyletic.{{Cite journal | last1=Sedano | first1=Raul E. | last2=Burns | first2=Kevin J. | date=2010 | title=Are the Northern Andes a species pump for Neotropical birds?
