Subspecies
No subspecies.

Slate-colored Grosbeak (Saltator grossus) and Black-throated Grosbeak (Saltator fuliginosus) were formerly placed in the genus Pitylus but are here moved to Saltator following AOU (even though Black-throated Grosbeak (Saltator fuliginosus) is a South American species, occuring outside the AOU region).

Affiliations of genus uncertain. Recent molecular-genetic analyses indicate that it does not belong with present family, and may be better placed with tanagers (Thraupidae). Sometimes treated as conspecific with Slate-colored Grosbeak (Saltator grossus), and both sometimes placed in a separate genus, Pitylus.
