Subspecies
Distinct from congeners, and in past occasionally isolated in monotypic genus or subgenus Beauharnaisius. Probably related to ancestor of the "Collared Aracari (Pteroglossus torquatus) group", which comprises Black-necked Aracari (Pteroglossus aracari), Chestnut-eared Aracari (Pteroglossus castanotis), Many-banded Aracari (Pteroglossus pluricinctus), Collared Aracari (Pteroglossus torquatus) and Fiery-billed Aracari (Pteroglossus frantzii). Recent work suggests it is unlikely to be related to Lettered Aracari (Pteroglossus inscriptus) and Eastern Red-necked Aracari (Pteroglossus bitorquatus).

No subspecies.
