A genus-level classification of the family Thraupidae (Class Aves: Order Passeriformes) Author Burns, Kevin J. Author Unitt, Philip Author Mason, Nicholas A. text Zootaxa 2016 4088 3 329 354 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4088.3.2 fcf25fb0-17d2-4892-bd42-2dffdb549763 1175-5326 266311 201C6F0F-D061-427D-96A2-50879D46D32D 15. Recognize Sphenopsis Sclater, 1862 (type = Sphenopsis ignobilis Sclater , currently Hemispingus frontalis ), for Hemispingus melanotis (Sclater, 1855) and H. frontalis (Tschudi, 1844) ( Fig. 3 ), as Sphenopsis melanotis and S. frontalis . Comments. Burns et al. (2014) recommended using Sphenops Sclater, 1861 , for this clade, but the original spelling of this genus is Sphenopsis Sclater, 1860 , Sphenops being an unnecessary emendation.
