Bangsia is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. They are native to humid forests in Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Costa Rica.

## Taxonomy and species list[edit]

The genus Bangsia was introduce in 1919 by the ornithologist Thomas Edward Penard with a subspecies of the blue-and-gold tanager Buthraupis arcaei caeruleigularis as the type. The specific epithet was chosen to honour the American ornithologist Outram Bangs.[1] A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Bangsia was sister to the genus Wetmorethraupis which contains only a single species, the orange-throated tanager.[2]

The genus contains six species:[3]

* Blue-and-gold tanager, Bangsia arcaei
* Black-and-gold tanager, Bangsia melanochlamys
* Golden-chested tanager, Bangsia rothschildi
* Moss-backed tanager, Bangsia edwardsi
* Gold-ringed tanager, Bangsia aureocincta
* Yellow-green tanager, Bangsia flavovirens
