Subspecies
No subspecies.

Genus as presently constituted may be polyphyletic. Anatomical evidence suggests that present species may be closest to Planalto Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias fasciatus) and Sooty-headed Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias griseiceps) and that all perhaps unrelated to others of genus, some or all of which possibly better placed in resurrected genus Tyranniscus. Was for long placed in a separate genus, Oreotriccus, originally by itself and later with Grey-capped Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias griseocapilla), but appears not to be close to latter.
