About the Golden-sided Euphonia
The golden-sided euphonia (Euphonia cayennensis) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in northern Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname and eastern Venezuela. The golden-sided euphonia was formally described in 1789 by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in his revised and expanded edition of Carl Linnaeus's Systema Naturae. He placed it in the genus Tanagra and coined the binomial name Tanagra cayennensis. Gmelin's account was based on "Le tangara noir de Cayenne" that had been described in 1760 by the French ornithologist Mathurin Brisson from a specimen that had been collected in French Guiana. The golden-sided euphonia is now placed in the genus Euphonia that was introduced in 1806 by the French zoologist Anselme Desmarest. At the time, the genus Euphonia was a member of the family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. Multiple studies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries resulted in Euphonia being reassigned to its present place in the family Fringillidae.
The golden-sided euphonia is monotypic. The golden-sided euphonia is about 11 cm (4.3 in) long and... Wikipedia →
