Taxonomy
The blue-backed tanager was formally described in 1819 by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot under the binomial name Pyranga cyanicterus.[2] The type locality is Cayenne in French Guiana.[3] This species is now the only member of the genus Cyanicterus that was introduced by Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1850.[4][5] The word cyanicterus is formed from the Ancient Greek kuanos meaning "dark-blue" and ikteros meaning "jaundice-yellow".[6] The blue-backed tanager is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[5]
