Ornithologists Edward Dickinson and Leslie Christidis in the fourth edition of the Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World chose to split up Emberiza and recognise the genera Fringillaria , Melophus , Granativora , Emberiza , and Schoeniclus . Their example has not been followed by
54-478: The large family consisted of distinct clades that were better treated as separate families. The genus Emberiza is now the only genus placed in the family Emberizidae.

The type species was subsequently designated as the yellowhammer ( Emberiza citrinella ). The genus name Emberiza
