Arremon

Arremon is a genus of neotropical birds in the family Passerellidae.

These sparrows are found in lowland woodlands and forests where they usually forage on the ground.

[1] The genus Arremon was erected in 1816 by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in his Analyse d'une Nouvelle Ornithologie Élémentaire to accommodate the pectoral sparrow (Arremon taciturnus).

[3] The pectoral sparrow had been given the French name "L'Oiseau Silencieux" by the polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in 1779.

[6] This genus includes species traditionally placed in Buarremon and Lysurus.
