Burns, Kevin J., Unitt, Philip & Mason, Nicholas A., 2016, A genus-level classification of the family Thraupidae (Class Aves: Order Passeriformes), Zootaxa 4088 (3), pp. 329-354 : 342

25. Recognize a monospecific Spodiornis Sclater, 1866

(type = Spodiornis jardinii Sclater, 1866, a junior synonym of Phrygilus rusticus Tschudi, 1844 , currently Haplospiza rustica ), for Haplospiza rustica ( Fig. 4 ).

Because the name Spodiornis is masculine in gender and Haplospiza is feminine, the ending of adjectival specific epithets changes to agree: H. rustica becomes S. rusticus , H. r. rustica becomes S. r. rusticus , and H. r. arcana (Wetmore & Phelps, 1949) becomes S. r. arcanus (the last as originally described).
