Taxonomy and systematics
The brassy-breasted tanager was first described as Tanagra Desmaresti by Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1819 on the basis of a specimen from Brazil.[1] The generic name Tangara is from the Tupí word tangara, meaning 'dancer'. The specific epithet desmaresti is a patronym in honor of Anselme Gaëtan Desmarest, who wrote the book Histoire des Tangaras.
