Proposed subspecies saturatus (northern Bolivia) indistinguishable from jumanus. Form "Celeus immaculatus", known only from type specimen, supposedly from Panama, appears to be an aberrant form of nominate subspecies of present species with erroneous locality data.

The following 6 subspecies are recognised:

• hellmayri von Berlepsch, 1908   -  Eastern Venezuela, Guyana and most of Surinam.
• leotaudi Hellmayr, 1906   -  Trinidad.
• deltanus Phelps & Phelps Jr, 1950   -  Delta Amacuro (north-eastern Venezuela).
• elegans (Müller, 1776)   -  Eastern Surinam, French Guiana, and northern Brazil north of Amazon (Roraima to Amapį).
• jumanus (von Spix, 1824)   -  Eastern Colombia and southern Venezuela (Amazonas, southern Bolķ­var) through western and central Brazil (north of Amazon east to R Negro and south of Amazon east to Maranhķo, and south to Rondōnia and Mato Grosso) to northern Bolivia.
• citreopygius Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1867   -  Eastern Ecuador and eastern Peru.
