Subspecies
No subspecies.

Formerly placed in a monotypic genus, Hylonax (and inadvertently in family Cotingidae), largely on basis of putatively distinctive non-exaspidean tarsus. However, tarsal scutellation variable within present genus. Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA places this species firmly within current genus, as basal sister to a radiation of primarily Caribbean and Central and North American taxa.
