Subspecies
Placed by early authors in the family Cotingidae, with supposed close relationship to genera Laniocera and Lipaugus. However, well-supported anatomical evidence indicates that it is a tyrannid, having close affinities to Sirystes, Casiornis and Myiarchus.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

frederici (Bangs & Penard, TE, 1918) - South-eastern Colombia (southern from Meta and Vaup�s), eastern and southern Venezuela and the Guianas south to eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru, Amazonian Brazil (south to Mato Grosso, northern Goi�s and northern Maranh�o) and northern Bolivia (south to La Paz, Cochabamba and northern Santa Cruz).
simplex (Lichtenstein, 1823) - Eastern Brazil, from Alagoas south to Minas Gerais and south-western S�o Paulo.
