Subspecies
No subspecies.

Genus as presently constituted is probably polyphyletic, and in need of further study. Syringeal characters suggest that present species and Rufous-winged Tyrannulet (Mecocerculus calopterus) are possibly related to Phyllomyias, specifically to Tyranniscus if latter resurrected.
