Kleinothraupis is a genus of warbler-like birds in the tanager family Thraupidae. They are found in highland forest in South America.
==Taxonomy and species list== The five species now placed in this genus were formerly assigned to the genus Hemispingus. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Hemispingus was polyphyletic. As part of the subsequent rearrangement, the five species were assigned to a new genus Kleinothraupis that was erected with the black-capped hemispingus as the type species. The name Kleinothraupis was chosen in honour of the ornithologist Nedra K. Klein whose name is combined with the Ancient Greek θραυπίς (thraupis), an unidentified small bird mentioned by Aristotle. In ornithology thraupis is used to signify a tanager.
