Subspecies
Molecular-genetic evidence indicates that this genus forms a monophyletic group with Habia and Chlorothraupis, and that all three are more closely related to cardinals (Cardinalidae) than to true tanagers.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

roseogularis (Cabot, 1846) - Drier northern portions of Yucat�n Peninsula (northern Campeche, northern Yucat�n and northern Quintana Roo), in south-eastern Mexico.
cozumelae Ridgway, 1901 - Islands of Mujeres and Cozumel, off north-eastern Quintana Roo.
tincta Paynter, 1950 - More humid central and southern portions of Yucat�n Peninsula, northern Guatemala and Belize.
