See text Pyrrhulagra Loxigilla is a genus of passerine birds in the tanager family Thraupidae.

The genus Loxigilla was introduced in 1831 by the French naturalist René Lesson.

[1] The type species was later designated as the Lesser Antillean bullfinch by George Robert Gray in 1855.

[2][3] The name is a combination of two genera introduced by Carl Linnaeus in 1758: Loxia for the crossbills and Fringilla for a group of finches.

[4] Although formerly placed with the buntings and New World sparrows in the family Emberizidae,[3] molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the genus is a member of the tanager family Thraupidae and belongs to the subfamily Coerebinae which also includes Darwin's finches.
