Subspecies
Has been treated in genus Myadestes, but very different vocally and in plumage. Geographical variation fairly strong, and vocal evidence may reveal that one or more of the subspecies would be better treated as full species.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

gularis Salvin & Godman, 1882 - South-eastern Venezuela, Guyana and Suriname. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Guianan Solitaire (Cichlopsis gularis).
chubbi Chapman, 1924 - South-western Colombia and north-western Ecuador. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Chestnut-throated Solitaire (Cichlopsis chubbi).
peruviana Hellmayr, 1930 - Central Peru. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Peruvian Solitaire (Cichlopsis peruviana).
leucogenys Cabanis, 1850 - Eastern Brazil (Bahia, Esp��rito Santo).
