Sphenopsis Sclater, 1862

Burns, Kevin J., Unitt, Philip & Mason, Nicholas A., 2016, A genus-level classification of the family Thraupidae (Class Aves: Order Passeriformes), Zootaxa 4088 (3), pp. 329-354 : 339

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.
