Subsequently, Piacentini (2017) presented a rationale for treating the Blue-and-yellow Tanager, long known as Thraupis bonariensis (Gmelin, 1789), in its own genus instead of subsuming it within Pipraeidea, as Burns et al. (2016) and Remsen et al. (2018) have previously recommended on the basis of molecular data. However, Piacentini’s proposal of a new genus, Remsenornis, for P. bonariensis overlooked the fact that Wolters (1980:340, footnote) had already pro- posed a genus with Loxia bonariensis Gmelin as its type species: Rauenia . Wolters’ name fulfils the requirements of the Code (ICZN 1999) for new genera proposed before 1999 and thus is available (see also Mlíkovský 2012). Consequently, Remsenornis Piacentini, 2017, is a junior objective synonym of Rauenia Wolters, 1980, and, if the Blue-and-yellow Tanager be classified in its own genus, it must be known as Rauenia bonariensis . Rauenia should be regarded as feminine in gender, in agreement with its latinized form.
