Subspecies
Recent molecular-genetic research suggests that the Galapagos group consisting of present genus and Certhidea, Platyspiza and Geospiza, known collectively as "Darwin's finches", is allied to the tanagers (Thraupidae), being closest to Coereba, Tiaris and several Caribbean genera.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

parvulus (Gould, 1837) - Pinta (Abington), Fernandina (Narborough), Isabela (Albemarle), Santiago (James), R�bida (Jervis), Pinz�n (Duncan), Baltra (Seymour), Santa Cruz (Indefatigable), Santa Fe (Barrington) and Floreana (Charles), in Galapagos Is.
