Subspecies
Possibly forms a superspecies with Short-crested Coquette (Lophornis brachylophus) and Rufous-crested Coquette (Lophornis delattrei). "Lophornis insignibarbis", known from a single Bogota trade skin and sometimes awarded monospecific genus Lithiophanes, may be a hybrid of present species and verreauxii of Festive Coquette (Lophornis chalybeus), although apparently characters do not fit precisely with either.

No subspecies.
