Euphoniinae is a subfamily of finches endemic to the Neotropics. It contains two genera, Euphonia and Chlorophonia. The two genera were at one time included in the tanager family Thraupidae. In a large phylogenetic study of the finch family using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences published in 2012, Zuccon and colleagues found that the only ''Chlorophonia'' species included in their analysis, the blue-naped chlorophonia, was nested within the ''Euphonia''. This indicated that the genus ''Euphonia'' was paraphyletic. A study with more species would be necessary to resolve the taxonomy of the subfamily.〔 ==Species list== SUBFAMILY EUPHONIINAE *Genus'' Euphonia'': the euphonias * * Jamaican euphonia, 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Euphoniinae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
