Subspecies
No subspecies.

Formerly treated as conspecific with Grey-eyed Greenlet (Hylophilus amaurocephalus), with which partly sympatric, but appears to be clearly differentiated by plumage, eye colour, vocalizations and habitat preference. Previously reported hybridization between the two explained as being due to presence of a "residual cline" that reflects geographical variation of the ancestor.
