Subspecies
No subspecies.

Genus has been thought to belong with New World warblers (Parulidae), but recent molecular-genetic data support placement in present family. Monophyly of genus questioned, supported by some molecular data, but other molecular data equivocal. May form a superspecies with Black-capped Hemispingus (Kleinothraupis atropileus) and Orange-browed Hemispingus (Kleinothraupis calophrys), and has been treated as conspecific with one or both of those. Replaces Black-capped Hemispingus (Kleinothraupis atropileus) on southern side of R Mara��n, and currently treated as separate species on grounds of some plumage differences and molecular-genetic analyses.

Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Black-capped Hemispingus (Kleinothraupis atropileus).
