Subspecies
Has in the past been treated as conspecific with Black-capped Gnatcatcher (Polioptila nigriceps). Birds of nominate subspecies in arid thorn-scrub of Motagua Valley, in central Guatemala, appear to be ecologically isolated from putative conspecifics. Furher studt is required of distribution in region between 89°-90° west and 15°-14° north. Distribution in Honduras from vicinity of Cantarranas northern towards Aguan Valley similarly uncertain and it has been suggested that this population is disjunct.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • vanrossemi Brodkorb, 1944   -  Southern Mexico (northern Guerrero and northern Oaxaca south to central and southern Chiapas).
  • albiventris Lawrence, 1885   -  Coast of north-western and central-northern Yucatán, in eastern Mexico.
  • albiloris Sclater & Salvin, 1860   -  Arid valleys of central Guatemala, interior Honduras and El Salvador southern in Pacific lowlands to north-western Costa Rica.
