Buntings and New World Sparrows (Emberizidae)
Black-and-white Seedeater (Sporophila luctuosa) - HBW 16, p. 653
French: Sporophile noir et blanc
German: Trauerpfäffchen
Spanish: Semillero Negriblanco
Taxonomy: Spermophila luctuosa Lafresnaye, 1843, Bogotá, Colombia.
Molecular evidence suggests that genus is closely related to Oryzoborus, which should perhaps be subsumed within it; further, that both genera should be placed in the tanager family (Thraupidae). Molecular-genetic data indicate that present species belongs in a clade with S. collaris, S. nigricollis and S. caerulescens. Monotypic.
Distribution: Andes from W Venezuela S through Colombia, Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia (La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz).
