Subspecies
Aulacorhynchus sulcatus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) was split into Groove-billed Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus sulcatus) and Aulacorhynchus calorhynchus by Stotz et al. (1996) but this treatment has not been adopted, following SACC (2005).

Forms a superspecies with Chestnut-tipped Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus derbianus). Rather closely related also to Emerald Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus prasinus), with which subspecies calorhynchus overlaps somewhat. Subspecies calorhynchus sometimes considered a separate species, but resembles other subspecies vocally and intergrades with nominate.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • calorhynchus Gould, 1874   -  North-eastern Colombia (Santa Marta and Perijá Mts) eastern into western Venezuela (east to south-western Lara). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Yellow-billed Toucanet (Aulacorhynchus calorhynchus).
  • sulcatus (Swainson, 1820)   -  Northern Venezuela (Falcón east to Miranda).
  • erythrognathus Gould, 1874   -  North-eastern Venezuelan mountains.
