Sicalis raimondii was described by Taczanowski (1874), with a type locality of "vicinity of Lima". In subsequent years it was confused with Sicalis luteola, of which it was classified as a subspecies. Hellmayr (1938), for example, recognized it as Sicalis luteola raimondii, but most of not all of the specimens that he assigned to raimondii in fact are Sicalis luteola bogotensis.
Koepcke (1963) documented the distinguishing characters of raimondii, and demonstrated that both raimondii and luteola occur on the coast of Peru, thereby reinstating raimondii as a species.
The genus Sicalis traditionally was classified as an emberizid, but genetic evidence, from DNA hybridization (Bledsoe 1988) and from phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data (Burns et al. 2002, 2003, Klicka et al. 2007), strongly indicate that Sicalis instead belongs to within the Thraupidae.
