Subspecies
Genus appears not to represent a monophyletic grouping, but traditional arrangement maintained pending further phylogenetic study. Relationships uncertain. Differences in morphology and voice suggest that subspecies may constitute more than one species.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

longipes (Swainson, 1825) - Extreme north-eastern Colombia (eastern slope of Andes in Norte de Santander), northern Venezuela (Zulia, T�chira and Apure east to Sucre) and Trinidad.
