Orange-crested Manakin © oiseaux.net

Genus has been suggested as being closest to Pipra on basis of syringeal details, also as possibly sister to Corapipo on basis of display behaviour and nest architecture. Forms a superspecies with Flame-crested Manakin (Heterocercus linteatus) and Yellow-crested Manakin (Heterocercus flavivertex), and all sometimes considered conspecific. Status of a fourth described taxon, Heterocercus luteocephalus ("Golden-crested Manakin"), known only from unique type (now lost or destroyed) from unknown locality, considered doubtful, probably of hybrid origin.
