Subspecies
No subspecies.

Molecular evidence suggests that genus is closely related to Oryzoborus, which should perhaps be subsumed within it. Further, that both genera should be placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae). Visual similarity to Double-collared Seedeater (Sporophila caerulescens) suggests that it may be closest to that species, but molecular-genetic study of present species not yet undertaken.
