Atlapetes is a genus of birds in the New World sparrow family Passerellidae. The species are mainly found in montane forest from Mexico to northwestern Argentina.^[1]

Taxonomy and species

The genus Atlapetes was introduced in 1831 by the German naturalist Johann Georg Wagler to accommodate the rufous-capped brushfinch (Atlapetes pileatus).^[2]^[3] The genus name is from Ancient Greek and combines the mythical figure Atlas with petēs, meaning "flyer".^[4] Within the New World sparrow family Passerellidae the genus Atlapetes is sister to the genus Pipilo.^[5]

The genus contains 33 species:^[6]
