The black-eared seedeater (Crithagra mennelli) is a species of finch in the family Fringillidae. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa , Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest and dry savanna.
The black-eared seedeater was formerly placed in the genus Serinus but phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences found that the genus was polyphyletic.[2] The genus was therefore split and a number of species including the black-eared seedeater were moved to the resurrected genus Crithagra.[3][4]
