Subspecies
No subspecies.

Recent molecular-genetic studies suggest that genus is most closely related to Eucometis and to Tachyphonus surinamus and Lanio, that it and Eucometis are sister-genera, and that Coryphospingus and Rhodospingus (both currently placed in Emberizidae) also are members of this clade. Consists of two geographically well-separated populations, one montane and the other primarily lowland. An investigation is required in order to determine whether these represent distinct taxa. Currently treated as monotypic.
