About Caryothraustes
Caryothraustes is a genus of grosbeak in the family Cardinalidae. The genus was introduced by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach in 1850. The type species was subsequently designated as the yellow-green grosbeak. The name Caryothraustes combines the Ancient Greek words karuon "nut" and thraustēs "breaker".
