1. Recognize a monospecific Rhopospina Cabanis, 1851

(type = Fringilla fruticeti Kittlitz, 1833, currently Phrygilus fruticeti), for Phrygilus fruticeti (Fig. 1).

Because Rhopospina is feminine in gender and Phrygilus is masculine, the subspecies Phrygilus fruticeti peruvianus Zimmer, 1924, becomes Rhopospina fruticeti peruviana .

Comments. Phrygilus is polyphyletic, and the type species of Phrygilus (P. g ay i) is distantly related to several species of Phrygilus (Burns et al. 2014, Fig. 4). Thus, a new genus-level taxonomy is needed for P. fruticeti as well as several other species of Phrygilus (see recommendations 2, 22, and 24 below).
