The genus Tanagra (Tangara) is a member of the family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers, where the species remained after being reassigned to genus Euphonia.

The green-chinned euphonia is also known as the green-throated euphonia. It is monotypic. The green-chinned euphonia is about 10 cm (3.9 in) long and weighs 18 to 20 g (0.63 to 0.71 oz).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-throated Euphonia is recorded against all the birds logged in Itatiaia National Park (9 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
