''Phrygilus''〔Ridgely & Tudor (1989)〕 is a genus of mainly Andean seed-eating tanagers commonly known as sierra finches. Phrygilos means finch in Ancient Greek.〔Aristophanes, ''The Birds'' 859. CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names: M-Q By Umberto Quattrocchi sv. Phrygilanthus〕 Sometimes classified in the bunting and American sparrow family Emberizidae, more recent studies have shown them to belong in the Thraupidae.〔See Burns et al. (2003) & Klicka et al. (2007)〕 The genus appears to be polyphyletic〔See Klicka et al. (2007)〕 consisting of at least three distinct lineages which in future may need to be split into separate genera. ==Species list== Group 1 - The "hooded" group.
