Finches (Fringillidae)
Vietnamese Greenfinch (Carduelis monguilloti) - HBW 15, p. 544
French: Verdier du Vietnam
German: Annamgrünfink
Spanish: Verderón Vietnamita
Taxonomy: Hypacanthis monguilloti Delacour, 1926, Dalat, Annam, south Vietnam.
Presumably part of a superspecies formed by C. chloris, C. sinica, C. spinoides and C. ambigua, and often treated as conspecific with C. spinoides; all may be only distantly related to present congeners, suggesting that resurrection of genus Chloris appropriate, but comprehensive review of all taxa in current genus required in order to determine true relationships. Monotypic.
Distribution: S Annam (Da Lat Plateau), in SC Vietnam.
