Heterospingus is a small genus of medium-sized birds in the tanager family Thraupidae that are found in the forests of Central and South America.
==Taxonomy and species list== The genus Heterospingus was introduced in 1898 by the American ornithologist Robert Ridgway with the sulphur-rumped tanager as the type species. The name combines the Ancient Greek heteros meaning "different" with spingos meaning "finch".
