In the subsequent reorganization two species from "Poospiza" were assigned to the resurrected genus "Poospizopsis" that had been introduced in 1893 by the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch with the chestnut-breasted mountain finch as the type species. The name of the genus combines "Poospiza" with the Ancient Greek "opsis" meaning "appearance".
The two species now placed in the genus are:
