Subspecies
Suiriri Flycatcher (Suiriri suiriri) and Chapada Flycatcher (Suiriri affinis) (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) have been lumped into Suiriri suiriri following SACC (2005).

Genus traditionally placed near Elaenia and allies on basis of external morphology, but syringeal data suggest closest to Ornithion and allies. Until recently, Chapada Flycatcher (Suiriri affinis) was included as an undescribed form of present species. Subspecies affinis and bahiae together sometimes treated as a separate species, but former intergrades broadly with nominate in Bolivia and latter suspected by some as being of hybrid origin (following secondary contact of affinis with a hypothetical remnant population of ancestral suiriri in north-eastern Brazil).

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

affinis (Burmeister, 1856) - Cerrado region of Brazil and adjacent eastern Bolivia.
bahiae (von Berlepsch, 1893) - North-eastern Brazil (Para��ba, Pernambuco, north-eastern Bahia).
suiriri (Vieillot, 1818) - Eastern Bolivia, southern Brazil, Paraguay, northern and eastern Argentina and Uruguay.
burmeisteri Kirwan, Steinheimer, Raposo & Zimmer, KJ, 2014 - Chaco of Suriname; eastern Brazil (Par�) to north-western Bolivia.
