Taxonomy and species list.
These species were formerly placed in the genus "Tangara". A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that "Tangara" was polyphyletic. In the rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, the genus "Ixothraupis" was resurrected. It had been introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1851 with the spotted tanager as the type species. The name combines the Ancient Greek "ixos" meaning "mistletoe" with "thraupis", an unknown small bird. 
The genus contains five species:
