Subspecies
No subspecies.
Genus has been thought to belong with New World warblers (Parulidae), but recent molecular-genetic data support placement in present family. This species may form a superspecies with Black-capped Hemispingus (Kleinothraupis atropileus) and White-browed Hemispingus (Kleinothraupis auricularis), and has been treated as conspecific with former or both. Possibly closest to Parodi's Hemispingus (Kleinothraupis parodii), which appears to be its sister-taxon.
