Source: List of tanager species

The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) recognizes these 392 tanager species in family Thraupidae, which are distributed among 107 genera. One species on the list, the St. Kitts bullfinch, is extinct. Confusingly, only 149 of the species are called "tanager"; another 108 are called "finch". This family is found only in the New World, primarily in South and Middle America and the Caribbean, though a few species are occasionally found in the United States. (The 20 species called tanagers in genera Piranga, Habia, and Chlorothraupis are members of another family, Cardinalidae). This list is presented in IOC taxonomic sequence and is also sortable alphabetically by common name and binomial name.
