Subspecies
No subspecies.

New molecular data indicate that genus forms a clade with the tanager (Thraupidae) genera Hemispingus and Thlypopsis, and that Compsospiza, which often subsumed within present genus, is sister to that clade. Closest relatives of present species uncertain. Further study is required. Until recently thought to be conspecific with Grey-breasted Warbling-Finch (Microspingus cabanisi), but separated on basis of differences in song and plumage.
