French: Chipiu à col noir
German: Schwarzbrust-Ammerfink
Spanish: Monterita Collareja
Taxonomy: Poospiza hispaniolensis Bonaparte, 1850, Santo Domingo; error = Peru.
New molecular data indicate that genus forms a clade with the tanager (Thraupidae) genera Hemispingus and Thlypopsis, and that Compsospiza, which often subsumed within this genus, is sister to that clade. A recent molecular-genetic study suggested that this species is rather distantly related to very similar-looking P. torquata; found to have a basal position in genus in some analyses, and in a clade with P. ornata and P. boliviana in other analyses; more work required in order to determine correct placement of this warbling-finch, and if similarity to..

Monotypic.
Distribution: SW Ecuador (SW Manabí, W Guayas, also rarely S Loja and S El Oro), and coastal slope of Peru from Tumbes S to Arequipa.
