Genus sometimes subsumed in Sporophila. Molecular evidence suggests that genus as currently constituted may not be monophyletic, and some of its members may have closest relatives in Sporophila. More data necessary in order to resolve a basal polytomy in the phylogeny. Formerly considered conspecific with Large-billed Seed-Finch (Sporophila crassirostris), Great-billed Seed-Finch (Sporophila maximiliani) and Black-billed Seed-Finch (Sporophila atrirostris). Still included by some authors in Great-billed Seed-Finch (Sporophila maximiliani), but by others considered closest to Large-billed Seed-Finch (Sporophila crassirostris). The taxonomy of this group still in flux.
