Subspecies
Melanopareia elegans (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Elegant Crescentchest (Melanopareia elegans) and Maranon Crescentchest (Melanopareia maranonica) following SACC (2005).

Genus differs considerably from other members of family, though shows certain structural similarities with Teledromas. May form a superspecies with Elegant Crescentchest (Melanopareia elegans). Vocally very similar to Elegant Crescentchest (Melanopareia elegans), and sometimes considered conspecific, but is proportionally longer-tailed, with distinct plumage pattern, and geographically isolated.

No subspecies.
