Idiopsar is a genus of Neotropical seed-eating birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.
==Taxonomy and species list== The genus Idiopsar was introduced in 1867 by the American ornithologist John Cassin to accommodate the newly described boulder finch. The name combines the Ancient Greek idios meaning "distinct" or "peculiar" with psar meaning "starling".
