Saltatricula is a genus of South American seed-eating birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.

Taxonomy and species list[]

The genus Saltatricula was introduced in 1861 by the German naturalist Hermann Burmeister with the many-colored Chaco finch as the type species.[1][2] The name is a Latin diminutive of the genus Saltator that had been introduced by Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1816.[3]

The black-throated saltator was formerly included in the genus Saltator. It was moved Saltatricula based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 that found that the black-throated saltator was genetically distinct from the other members of the genus Saltator but was instead closely related to the many-colored Chaco finch.[4][5]

The genus contains two species.[5]
