Subspecies
No subspecies.
Recent molecular-genetic research indicates that genus belongs in the tanager family (Thraupidae), forming a clade with, among others, Cissopis and Schistochlamys. Curiously, members of latter two genera are similar in some plumage features and in bill shape to some members of present genus. This species may form a superspecies with Red-crested Cardinal (Paroaria coronata).
