Euphonias are members of the genus "Euphonia", a group of Neotropical birds in the finch family. They share the subfamily Euphoniinae with the chlorophonias. "Euphonia" contains close to 27 species.

Most euphonias are dark metallic blue above and bright yellow below. Many have contrasting pale foreheads and white undertails. Some have light blue patches on the head and/or orangish underparts.

Euphonias were once considered members of the tanager family, Thraupidae, and their taxonomic status is still being questioned.
