Subspecies
Recent molecular-genetic analysis indicates that genus belongs in family Fringillidae. Three further proposed Mexican subspecies, suttoni (described from R��o Sabinas, near G�mez Far��as, in south-western Tamaulipas), russelli (from 2 km north-east of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, in Quintana Roo) and caribbaea (from Monte Bello, north of Palomares, in Oaxaca), all now subsumed into nominate.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

hirundinacea Bonaparte, 1838 - Eastern and south-eastern Mexico (from San Luis Potos��, southern Tamaulipas, Puebla, northern Oaxaca, Chiapas and Yucat�n Peninsula) south through Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and eastern Nicaragua.
gnatho (Cabanis, 1861) - North-western Nicaragua and Costa Rica (in Guanacaste, and central valley and Caribbean slope) south to western Panama (western Chiriqu��).
suttoni Phillips, AR, 1966 - Eastern Mexico.
caribbaea Phillips, AR, 1966 - South-central Mexico.
