Rhodothraupis
(syn. Caryothraustes Ϯ Crimson-collared Grosbeak C. celaeno) Gr. ῥοδον rhodon rose; θραυπις thraupis unknown small bird, perhaps some sort of finch. In ornithology thraupis signifies tanager. "Genus Rhodothraupis. (Type, Fringilla celæno Lichtenstein.) Similar to Caryothraustes Reichenbach, but tail much longer (nearly as long as wing) and decidedly rounded; first primary not longer than eighth instead of longer than seventh; tarsus decidedly longer than middle toe with claw, and sexes different in color, though similar in pattern of coloration." (Ridgway 1898).
