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). Molecular-genetic data indicate that present species belongs in a clade with Rusty-collared Seedeater (Sporophila collaris), Yellow-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila nigricollis) and Double-collared Seedeater (Sporophila caerulescens).
