Subspecies
Genus appears not to represent a monophyletic grouping, but traditional arrangement maintained pending further phylogenetic study. Relationships uncertain. Differences in morphology and voice suggest that subspecies may constitute more than one species.
The following 4 subspecies are recognised:
panamensis Ridgway, 1908 - Eastern Panama (locally on Caribbean slope eastern from Colón, Pacific slope eastern from Coclé) and northern Colombia (extreme northern Chocó east to western slope of north-eastern Andes in La Guajira, César and Bolívar).
longipes (Swainson, 1825) - Extreme north-eastern Colombia (eastern slope of Andes in Norte de Santander), northern Venezuela (Zulia, Táchira and Apure east to Sucre) and Trinidad.
boucardi von Berlepsch, 1888 - Central Colombia (upper Magdalena Valley from Cudinamarca south to Huila).
griseipectus von Berlepsch & Hartert, 1902 - Central Colombia (east of Andes in Meta and eastern Guainía), southern and eastern Venezuela (northern Amazonas, northern Bolívar, Delta Amacuro), western Guyana, also locally in southern French Guiana and north-eastern Brazil north of R Amazon (north-eastern Roraima, central Amapá, east-central Pará).
