| Rhodopechys sanguineus | Asian crimson-winged finch | Turkey to NE Pakistan. |
| Rhodopechys alienus | African crimson-winged finch | Morocco and Algeria. |
The desert finch, Carduelis obsoleta (formerly Rhodopechys obsoleta), has turned out to belong to the (sub)genus Chloris in the genus Carduelis as indicated by DNA sequences, song and eyestripe pattern; it is closely related to the greenfinches (Zamora et al., 2006). See the species account for details.
