Subspecies
No subspecies.

Forms a superspecies with Tepui Whitestart (Myioborus castaneocapilla) and Guaiquinima Whitestart (Myioborus cardonai), with Paria Whitestart (Myioborus pariae) presumably part of same group. Previously regarded as closest to, and possibly conspecific with, Guaiquinima Whitestart (Myioborus cardonai), but recent phylogenetic study suggests that latter may be more closely related to subspecies maguirei (and perhaps also duidae) of Tepui Whitestart (Myioborus castaneocapilla).
