The '''slate-coloured grosbeak''' ('''''Saltator grossus''''') is a species of [[grosbeak]] in the family [[Thraupidae]]. Most of its range is the [[Amazon Rainforest|Amazon]] in [[South America]], but it is also found in forests of the [[El Chocó|Chocó]] in [[Ecuador]] and [[Colombia]], and southern [[Central America]] from [[Panama]] to [[Honduras]].
==Taxonomy==
In 1760 the French zoologist [[Mathurin Jacques Brisson]] included a description of the slate-coloured grosbeak in the supplement to his ''Ornithologie'' based on a specimen collected in "America". He used the French name ''Le gros-bec bleu d'Amérique'' and the Latin name ''Coccothraustes americana caerulea''.<ref name=brisson>{{ cite book | last=Brisson | first=Mathurin Jacques | author-link=Mathurin Jacques Brisson | year=1760 | title=Ornithologie, ou, Méthode contenant la division des oiseaux en ordres, sections, genres, especes & leurs variétés | volume=Supplement | language=French, Latin | place=Paris | publisher=Jean-Baptiste Bauche | pages=89–91, Plate 5 fig 1 | url=https://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/36211701 }} The two stars (**) at the start of the paragraph indicates that Brisson based his description on the examination of a specimen.</ref> Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the [[Binomial nomenclature|binomial system]] and are not recognised by the [[International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature]].<ref name=allen>{{cite journal |last=Allen | first=J.A. | author-link=Joel Asaph Allen | year=1910 | title=Collation of Brisson's genera of birds with those of Linnaeus |journal=Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History |volume=28 | pages=317–335 | hdl=2246/678 }}</ref> When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist [[Carl Linnaeus]] updated his ''[[Systema Naturae]]'' for the [[12th edition of Systema Naturae|twelfth edition]] he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson in his ''Ornithologie''.<ref name=allen/> One of these was the slate-coloured grosbeak.
