Nemosia is a genus of South American birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.
The genus was introduced by the French ornithologist Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot in 1816 with the hooded tanager (Nemosia pileata) as the type species.[1][2] The name Nemosia is from the Ancient Greek nemos meaning "glade" or "dell".[3]
The genus contains two species:[4]
- Hooded tanager, Nemosia pileata
- Cherry-throated tanager, Nemosia rourei
