The grass-green tanager (Chlorornis riefferii Thraupidae . It is the only member of the genus Chlorornis .
The grass-green tanager is 20 cm in length and weighs 53g. It lives in and around subtropical and temperate forests in the Andes of Colombia , Ecuador , Bolivia and Peru at elevations of 1500–3350 m.
It is seen in pairs or in groups of 3-6 individuals. It forages mostly on upper half of short trees and eats fruits and insects. It is known to perch almost horizontally. Its nest is made of mosses and ferns , and its eggs are gray with light purple-grey dots.
Taxonomy [ edit ]
The grass-green tanager was formally described in 1840 by the French ornithologist Auguste Boissonneau from a specimen collected near Bogotá in Colombia. He coined the binomial name Tanagra riefferii .[2] [3] Chlorornis that was introduced in 1850 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach .[4] [5] Ancient Greek khlōros meaning "green" and ornis meaning "bird". The specific epithet was chosen to honour the collector Gabriel Rieffer.[6] sister relationship to the genus Cnemathraupis black-chested mountain tanager and the golden-backed mountain tanager .[7]
Five subspecies are recognised:[5]
C. r. riefferii (Boissonneau, 1840) – Colombia and Ecuador
C. r. dilutus Zimmer, JT , 1947 – north Peru
C. r. elegans (Tschudi , 1844) – central Peru
C. r. celatus Zimmer, JT, 1947 – south Peru
C. r. bolivianus (Berlepsch , 1912) – west Bolivia
