Tanagers (Thraupidae)
Black-goggled Tanager (Trichothraupis melanops) - HBW 16, p. 174
French: Tangara à front noir
German: Schwarzgesichttangare
Spanish: Tangara de Anteojos
Taxonomy: Muscicapa melanops Vieillot, 1818, Paraguay.
Recent molecular-genetic studies suggest that genus is most closely related to Eucometis and to Tachyphonus surinamus and Lanio, that it and Eucometis are sister-genera, and that Coryphospingus and Rhodospingus (both currently placed in Emberizidae) also are members of this clade. Present species consists of two geographically well-separated populations, one montane and the other primarily lowland; investigation required in order to determine whether these represent distinct taxa. Currently treated as monotypic.
Distribution: Narrowly along E slope of Andes from N Peru (S from S Amazonas and San Martín) S to Bolivia and N Argentina (N Jujuy); SE Brazil (S Mato Grosso, S Goiás and S Bahia S to N Rio Grande do Sul) and adjacent NE Argentina and E Paraguay (E of R Paraguay).
