Tanagers (Thraupidae)
Carmiol's Tanager (Chlorothraupis carmioli) - HBW 16, p. 321
French: Habia de Carmiol
German: Carmioltangare
Spanish: Tangara de Carmiol
Taxonomy: Phoenicothraupis carmioli Lawrence, 1868, Angostura, Costa Rica.
Molecular-genetic evidence indicates that this genus may form a monophyletic group with Piranga and Habia, and that all three are more closely related to cardinals (Cardinalidae) than to true tanagers. This species often treated as conspecific with C. frenata, the two being morphologically very similar; further investigation desirable. Three subspecies provisionally recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- carmioli (Lawrence, 1868) - Caribbean slope and lowlands and very locally on Pacific slope at low passes from E Nicaragua S to extreme NW Panama (vicinity of Almirante Bay).
- magnirostris Griscom, 1927 - W Panama (both slopes in Veraguas).
- lutescens Griscom, 1927 - from C Panama (Coclé and Colon locally E to San Blas and NW Darién, generally N & E of valleys of R Chepo and R Chucunaque, and on Cerro Tacarcuna) and adjacent extreme NW Colombia (slopes of Cerro Tacarcuna, in Chocó).
