Subspecies
No subspecies.

Streaky Seedeater (Crithagra striolata) and Yellow-browed Seedeater (Serinus whytii) (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) have been lumped as Serinus striolatus following Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993) who include striolatus as a subspecies of Yellow-browed Seedeater (Serinus whytii). The southern form whytii differs from other members of striolatus in its yellow throat, forehead and supercilium, wing-fringes and tail-fringes. However, the yellow coloration can only be scored once as a major difference, and other differences are not apparent.
