Species

See text

Peucaea is a genus of American sparrows. The species in this genus used to be included in the genus Aimophila.

## Taxonomy and species

[edit]

A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2009 found that the genus Aimophila was polyphyletic.[3] In the resulting reorganization to create monophyletic genera, eight species were moved from Aimophila to the resurrected genus Peucaea.[4] Peucaea had been introduced by the Franco-American ornithologist John James Audubon in 1839.[5] The genus name is from the Ancient Greek peukē meaning "pine-tree".[6] The type species was designated by English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1841 as Fringilla bachmani, a taxon now considered to be a subspecies of Bachman's sparrow with the trinomial name Peucaea aestivalis bachmani.[4][7][8] Peucaea is the sister genus to Ammodramus within the family Passerellidae.[9]

The genus contains the following 8 species:[4]

* Rufous-winged sparrow, Peucaea carpalis
* Cinnamon-tailed sparrow, Peucaea sumichrasti
* Stripe-headed sparrow, Peucaea ruficauda
* Black-chested sparrow, Peucaea humeralis
* Bridled sparrow, Peucaea mystacalis
* Botteri's sparrow, Peucaea botterii
* Cassin's sparrow, Peucaea cassinii
* Bachman's sparrow, Peucaea aestivalis

## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ Audubon spelled the specific epithet bachmani on the 1833 plate but bachmanii in the text published in 1834 to accompany the plate.[1][2]
