Subspecies
Sometimes placed with Crowned Chat-Tyrant (Silvicultrix frontalis), Golden-browed Chat-Tyrant (Silvicultrix pulchella) and Jelski's Chat-Tyrant (Silvicultrix jelskii) in a separate genus, Silvicultrix, but genetic and anatomical data indicate that this would make present genus paraphyletic. All form a superspecies. Described subspecies meridana (from M�rida, in Venezuela) considered indistinguishable from nominate; cajamarcae (from Cajamarca, in Peru) synonymized with gratiosa.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

jesupi (Allen, JA, 1900) - Santa Marta Mts, in northern Colombia.
rubellula (Wetmore, 1946) - Sierra de Perijá, on Colombia-Venezuela border.
tovarensis (Gilliard, 1940) - Coastal range in northern Venezuela (Aragua, Distrito Federal).
diadema (Hartlaub, 1843) - Eastern Andes in western Venezuela and Colombia.
gratiosa (Sclater, PL, 1862) - Western and central Andes and western slope of eastern Andes of Colombia south to northern Peru (Piura, Cajamarca).
