Subspecies
Often placed in genus Lysurus. On basis of similarities in molecular data, plumage, voice, behaviour and micro-habitat, this genus, and also, Buarremon, now subsumed in present genus. Probably forms a superspecies, and sometimes considered conspecific, with Olive Finch (Arremon castaneiceps).

Proposed subspecies eurous (described from Cerro Tacarcuna, in eastern Panama), supposedly duller and with darker crown, known from only a single specimen and considered untenable.

No subspecies.
