Subspecies
Formerly treated in genus Euscarthmornis and later in Idioptilon, both now defunct. Was considered conspecific with Joao's Tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus iohannis), but the two occur sympatrically at several localities in Peru and Bolivia. Validity of subspecies griseiceps doubtful. Birds from northern Peru and central Brazil (Mato Grosso), supposedly with darker crown and more olive wash on breast side, described as a third subspecies, obscuriceps. Considered indistinguishable from nominate because of range of individual variation in latter.
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
striaticollis (Lafresnaye, 1853) - Eastern Colombia (Meta); northern Peru (San Martín); and from southern Peru (Cuzco, Madre de Dios) and northern Bolivia (Beni) to central and eastern Brazil (upper R Madeira east to Maranhío, and south to Mato Grosso, Goiás and Minas Gerais; eastern Bahia).
griseiceps (Todd, 1925) - Eastern Amazonian Brazil in western Pará (lower R Tapajós).
