Geospiza is a genus of bird in the Thraupidae family. All species in the genus are endemic to the Galápagos Islands; together with related genera, they are collectively known as Darwin's finches. Although in the past, they were classified in the bunting and American sparrow family Emberizidae, more recent studies have shown they belong in the tanager family. The genus contains the following species:[1]
- Sharpe's Ground Finch, Geospiza difficilis
- Large Tree Finch, Camarhynchus psittacula
- Medium Tree Finch, Camarhynchus pauper
- Small Tree Finch, Camarhynchus parvula
- Mangrove Finch, Geospiza heliobates
- Woodpecker Finch, Geospiza pallida
- Vampire Finch, Geospiza septentrionalis
- Small Ground Finch, Geospiza fuliginosa
- Medium Ground Finch, Geospiza fortis
- Sharp-beaked Ground Finch, Geospiza acutirostris
- Large Ground Finch, Geospiza magnirostris
- Large-billed Cactus Finch, Geospiza conirostris
