Subspecies
Genus has sometimes been placed in Coerebidae or Parulidae, but molecular-genetic data indicate that it belongs in present family, with Oreomanes as sister-group. This species was originally placed in genus Ateleodacnis, and some taxonomists argue that it, along with the other lowland conebills (Chestnut-vented Conebill (Conirostrum speciosum), Bicolored Conebill (Conirostrum bicolor) and Pearly-breasted Conebill (Conirostrum margaritae)), should be returned to that genus. As a group they are morphologically quite distinct from most highland members of present genus.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • panamense (Griscom, 1927)   -  Eastern Panama (from Gulf of San Miguel east to Darién) and north-western Colombia (Sinú Valley in Córdoba).
  • leucogenys Lafresnaye, 1852   -  Northern Colombia (Sucre, Atlántico, Magdalena and Cesar, and south in Magdalena Valley to Huila; east of Andes in Catatumbo lowlands of Norte de Santander) and adjacent western Venezuela (eastern across Zulia, Falcón and Yaracuy to Carabobo, in coastal cordillera).
  • cyanochroum (Todd, 1924)   -  Western Venezuela in foothills of Sierra de Perijá and western base of Andes (Mérida).
