French: Paroare dominicain

Other common names: Brazilian/Dominican/Pope Cardinal
Taxonomy: Loxia dominicana Linnaeus, 1758, Brazil.
Recent molecular-genetic research indicates that genus belongs in the tanager family (Thraupidae), forming a clade with, among others, Cissopis and Schistochlamys; curiously, members of latter two genera are similar in some plumage features and in bill shape to some members of present genus. This species may form a superspecies with P. coronata. Monotypic.
