Calyptophilus is a genus of bird formerly placed in the family Thraupidae. Established by Charles Barney Cory in 1884, it contains the following species:[1]
- Western chat-tanager, Calyptophilus tertius
- Eastern chat-tanager, Calyptophilus frugivorus
These two species were formerly considered conspecific under C. frugivorus (with the common name of chat tanager).
The name Calyptophilus comes from the Greek words kaluptēs, meaning "hider" (derived from kaluptō, meaning "to cover") and philos, meaning "loving" (derived from phileō, meaning "to love").[2]
