Cardinals (Cardinalidae)
Black-winged Saltator (Saltator atripennis) - HBW 16, p. 415
French: Saltator à ailes noires
German: Schwarzschwingensaltator
Spanish: Pepitero Alinegro
Taxonomy: Saltator atripennis P. L. Sclater, 1857, Popayán, Colombia.
Affiliations of genus uncertain; recent molecular-genetic analyses indicate that it does not belong with present family, and may be better placed with tanagers (Thraupidae). Races of present species weakly differentiated and differences possibly not constant; species perhaps better treated as monotypic. Two subspecies tentatively recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- atripennis P. L. Sclater, 1857 - Colombia (both sides of W Andes and W slope of C Andes from Antioquia S to Nariño) and extreme NW Ecuador (W Esmeraldas).
- caniceps Chapman, 1914 - disjunctly on W slope of E Andes of Colombia (Boyacá, Cundinamarca) and W Ecuador.
