Subspecies
Occasionally been separated in genus Lepidolarynx. However, details of tail and bill morphology vary in a continuum from Plain-capped Starthroat (Heliomaster constantii) and Long-billed Starthroat (Heliomaster longirostris) to Blue-tufted Starthroat (Heliomaster furcifer), with present species occupying an intermediate position, and treatment of all four as congeners now generally considered more appropriate. Some authors also merge Rhodopis.

No subspecies.
