Subspecies
Stigmatura napensis (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) was provisionally split into Lesser Wagtail-Tyrant (Stigmatura napensis) and Stigmatura bahiae by Stotz et al. (1996) but this treatment has not been adopted, following SACC (2005).

Forms a superspecies with Greater Wagtail-Tyrant (Stigmatura budytoides).

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

napensis Chapman, 1926 - Along larger rivers of central Amazonian and south-western Orinoco drainages in extreme south-eastern Colombia (near Leticia), south-western Venezuela (along R Orinoco), eastern Ecuador, north-eastern Peru and north-central Brazil (east to R Tapaj�s).
bahiae Chapman, 1926 - North-eastern Brazil (Pernambuco, north-central Bahia). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Bahia Wagtail-Tyrant (Stigmatura bahiae).
