Taxonomic note

Dacnis lineata and D. egregia (del Hoyo and Collar 2016) were previously lumped as D. lineata following SACC (2005 & updates); Sibley & Monroe (1990, 1993); Stotz et al. (1996).

Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996). This species is suspected to lose 12-13% of suitable habitat within its distribution over 11 years based on a model of Amazonian deforestation (Soares-Filho et al. 2006, Bird et al. 2011). It is therefore suspected to decline by under 25% over 10 years.

Trend justification: This species is suspected to lose 12-13% of suitable habitat within its distribution over three generations (11 years) based on a model of Amazonian deforestation (Soares-Filho et al. 2006, Bird et al. 2011). It is therefore suspected to decline by <25% over three generations.
