 Retain genus Xanthopsar
With the new molecular phylogeny of the Icteridae (Johnson and Lanyon 1999) there is no chance of putting Xanthopsar flavus within the Nearctic and Caribbean genus Agelaius.
The two Chrysomus flbirds are often polygynous; male parental care includes building the nest (very unusual in the Icteridae), but chick feeding is mostly by the female.

The editors of this journal listed the Clericus polydenominata as a member of the family Icteridae (which includes such birds as the American Orioles).
Once Zoological Record had given its imprimatur to the reality of the Clericus polydenominata, a scientist named M.A. Traylor followed up on this by publishing in 1967 a small booklet devoted to a fuller description of the species.
He argued that Zoological Record had misplaced the bird by listing it in the family Icteridae, suggesting that it more properly belonged in the family Ploceidae, the Bishop Birds.

 Rednova NEWS | Phylogenetic Relationships of the Red-Bellied Grackle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Hypopyrrhus belongs in a clade composed of mostly South American species within the grackles and allies assemblage, one of the five main lineages in the Icteridae.
Within this lineage, Hypopyrrhus is consistently placed in a clade with Gymnomystax mexicanus and Lampropsar tanagrinus, but parsimony and maximum- likelihood reconstructions do not agree on which of these species is its sister taxon.
The addition of Hypopyrrhus does not cause major topological changes to Johnson and Lanyon's (1999) phylogeny of the grackles and allies; thus, the conclusions of evolutionary studies that used this phylogeny as a baseline remain largely unaltered.
