Taxonomy and species

The genus Atlapetes was introduced in 1831 by the German naturalist Johann Georg Wagler to accommodate the rufous-capped brushfinch (Atlapetes pileatus).[2][3] The genus name is from Ancient Greek and combines the mythical figure Atlas with petēs, meaning "flyer".[4] Within the New World sparrow family Passerellidae the genus Atlapetes is sister to the genus Pipilo.[5]

The genus contains 33 species:[6]
