Subspecies
No subspecies.
Closest relatives of genus may be Empidonomus and Tyrannopsis. Recent molecular-sequence data indicate present genus is monophyletic and sister-group to clade that includes Empidonomus and Griseotyrannus. There are two main clades within genus, loosely corresponding to "tropical species assemblage" and combination of "W" and "E" species groups of earlier authors, but with some exceptions. May belong to a clade within the "tropical assemblage" that also includes Couch's Kingbird (Tyrannus couchii) and Fork-tailed Flycatcher (Tyrannus savana), although relationships among these three species uncertain.
