The Príncipe seedeater (Crithagra rufobrunneus) is a species of finch in the Fringillidae family. It is found only on the islands of Sao Tomé and Príncipe (including the small islet of Boné de Jóquei) off the west coast of Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
The Príncipe 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 Príncipe seedeater were moved to the resurrected genus Crithagra.[3][4]
