Loxigilla noctis (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Lesser Antillean Bullfinch (Loxigilla noctis) and Barbados Bullfinch (Loxigilla barbadensis) following AOU (2006).

Genus may belong in tanager family (Thraupidae). Appears to be part of a clade which also includes several other Caribbean genera (Euneornis, Loxipasser, Melopyrrha, Melanospiza), Tiaris grassquits, Bananaquit (Coereba flaveola), and "Darwin's finches" (Certhidea, Platyspiza, Pinaroloxias, Camarhynchus, Geospiza). Formerly considered conspecific with Lesser Antillean Bullfinch (Loxigilla noctis).
