The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

ridgwayi (Bangs, 1902) - Highlands of central Costa Rica (Volc�n Turrialba, Volc�n Iraz� and adjacent areas).
basultoi Ridgway, 1908 - Cordillera de Dota, in south-central Costa Rica.
browni (Bangs, 1902) - Western Panama (Volc�n Bar�, Volc�n de Chiriqu��, Cerro Copete).
