Oreomanes Sclater, 1860

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 : 340

21. Merge Oreomanes Sclater, 1860 , into Conirostrum d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1838 ( Fig. 4 ).

Comments. As discussed in Burns et al. (2014), Oreomanes fraseri is best viewed as a specialized Conirostrum , a finding previously suggested by the hybridization of Oreomanes and Conirostrum ferrugineiventre (Schulenberg 1985) . If Oreomanes is merged into Conirostrum , Oreomanes fraseri Sclater, 1860 becomes a junior homonym of Conirostrum cinereum fraseri Sclater, 1859 . Therefore, a different name needs to be applied to Oreomanes fraseri . Oreomanes binghami Chapman, 1919 , is the next oldest name available for the species, and we accordingly apply that name to the species currently known as Oreomanes fraseri , which now becomes Conirostrum binghami .
