Subspecies
Pyroderus scutatus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) was provisionally split into Red-ruffed Fruitcrow (Pyroderus scutatus) and Pyroderus granadensis by Stotz et al. (1996) but this treatment has not been adopted, following SACC (2005).

Genus probably closest to Cephalopterus.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

occidentalis Chapman, 1914 - Western Andes and western slope of central Andes of Colombia, and western slope in north-western Ecuador.
granadensis (Lafresnaye, 1846) - Sierra de Perij� (on Colombia-Venezuela border), northern and western Venezuela (Andes, and coastal mountains east to Distrito Federal) and eastern Andes and eastern slope of central Andes of Colombia. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Red-ruffed Fruitcrow (Pyroderus granadensis).
masoni Ridgway, 1886 - Andes of northern and central Peru.
orenocensis (Lafresnaye, 1846) - Eastern Venezuela (north-eastern Bol��var) and adjacent northern Guyana.
scutatus (Shaw, 1792) - South-eastern Brazil (Bahia and southern Goi�s south to Rio Grande do Sul), eastern Paraguay and north-eastern Argentina (Misiones).
