ViewsCategory:SaltatorFrom OpusGenus: Saltator [edit] DescriptionSaltators and some grosbeaks. [edit] TaxonomySaltator has traditionally been places as a genus in the family Cardinalidae, but recent evidence indicates that it can also be placed in Emberizidae or possibly most likely Thraupidae; as a consequence, the SACC recently moved Saltator to status as INCERTAE SEDIS. Saltator as currently defined is probably not a natural unit. Especially, the closest relative of Black-throated Saltator (Saltator atricollis) seems to be Many-colored Chaco-Finch (Saltatricula multicolor), a species from a different genus. The discussion in SACC seems to indicate that the best solution will be to transfer Black-throated Saltator to genus Saltatricula.
