Spanish: Dacnis Andino
Taxonomy: Xenodacnis parina Cabanis, 1873, Maraynioc, Peru.
Has sometimes been placed in family Coerebidae; recent molecular-genetic data, however, indicate that it belongs in present family and is closest to genus Diglossa, and also to Haplospiza, Acanthidops and Catamenia, the last three genera currently placed in Emberizidae. Races petersi and bella have been considered to represent a separate species, distinct from smaller S nominate race, although plumage differences from latter not very pronounced. Race bella closely resembles petersi and should perhaps be synonymized with it. Three subspeci.. View all taxonomy...
Has sometimes been placed in family Coerebidae; recent molecular-genetic data, however, indicate that it belongs in present family and is closest to genus Diglossa, and also to Haplospiza, Acanthidops and Catamenia, the last three genera currently placed in Emberizidae. Races petersi and bella have been considered to represent a separate species, distinct from smaller S nominate race, although plumage differences from latter not very pronounced. Race bella closely resembles petersi and should perhaps be synonymized with it. Three subspecies currently recognized.

- bella J. Bond & Meyer de Schauensee, 1939 - NC Peru (S Amazonas and La Libertad N of R Marañón).
