Subspecies
Sometimes placed in genus Gymnostinops. Often considered conspecific with Para Oropendola (Psarocolius bifasciatus), mainly because intermediate-looking individuals that are thought to be hybrids occur in area of range overlap in eastern Amazonian Brazil (Pará). No details of pairing behaviour or other aspects of natural history in contact zone are yet available, and further research is required. Both species sometimes considered part of the group formed by Montezuma Oropendola (Psarocolius montezuma), Black Oropendola (Psarocolius guatimozinus) and Baudo Oropendola (Psarocolius cassini). Also, analysis of mitochondrial DNA indicates closer relationship of present species with Green Oropendola (Psarocolius viridis) than with Crested Oropendola (Psarocolius decumanus).
Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Para Oropendola (Psarocolius bifasciatus).
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
- yuracares (d'Orbigny and Lafresnaye, 1838) - Amazon and upper Orinoco Basins from southern Venezuela (western Bolívar) and Colombia (Meta and Guainía) south to eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru and central Bolivia (Santa Cruz), east to central Brazil (east to R Negro and R Tapajós). Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Para Oropendola (Psarocolius bifasciatus).
- neivae (E. Snethlage, 1925) - Southern Pará (between R Tapajós and R Tocantins) to northern Goiás and Mato Grosso, in east-central Brazil. Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Para Oropendola (Psarocolius bifasciatus).
