Subspecies
This genus and Hylophilus sometimes placed together in a subfamily Vireoninae. Closely related to eight other scrub-dwelling vireos, namely Thick-billed Vireo (Vireo crassirostris), Mangrove Vireo (Vireo pallens), Cozumel Vireo (Vireo bairdi), St. Andrew Vireo (Vireo caribaeus), Jamaican Vireo (Vireo modestus), Cuban Vireo (Vireo gundlachii), Puerto Rican Vireo (Vireo latimeri) and Flat-billed Vireo (Vireo nanus). Probably closest to Thick-billed Vireo (Vireo crassirostris), which has been treated as conspecific. Subspecies perquisitor sometimes thought to represent a separate species. Conversely, noveboracensis sometimes synonymized with nominate.

The following 7 subspecies are recognised:

  • noveboracensis (Boddaert, 1783)   -  North-central USA (Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana east to New York and Connecticut, south to Alabama); migrates to south-eastern Mexico and south to Honduras, also Cuba.
  • griseus (Boddaert, 1783)   -  South-eastern USA (coastal plain from southern Virginia to northern Florida, then west to Texas); migrates mainly to south-eastern Mexico, northern Guatemala, Belize and northern Honduras.
  • maynardi Brewster, 1887   -  Southern Florida.
  • bermudianus Bangs & Bradlee, 1901   -  Bermuda.
  • micrus Nelson, 1899   -  Extreme southern USA (southern Texas) and north-eastern Mexico (south to northern San Luis Potosí).
  • perquisitor Nelson, 1900   -  Eastern Mexico (southern San Luis Potosi, northern Veracruz).
  • marshalli Phillips, AR, 1991   -  East-central Mexico (uplands of southern San Luis Potosi and northern Hidalgo).
