Poospizopsis is a genus of warbler-like tanagers. They are found in highland forest in South America.

Taxonomy and species list

A molecular phylogenetic study of the tanager family Thraupidae published in 2014 found that the genus Poospiza was polyphyletic.^[1] In the subsequent reorganization two species from Poospiza were assigned to the resurrected genus Poospizopsis that had been introduced in 1893 by the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch with the chestnut-breasted mountain finch as the type species.^[2]^[3]^[4] The name of the genus combines Poospiza with the Ancient Greek opsis meaning "appearance".^[5]

The two species now placed in the genus are:^[4]
