Proposed subspecies toroi represents specimens from zone of intergradation between propinquus and doubledayi. Proposed subspecies nitidus is synonym of doubledayi. Subspecies lawrencei has also been considered a distinct species. Racial differences mainly in male head coloration, though this may vary clinally, so number of valid subspecies uncertain.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

• magicus (Mulsant & Verreaux, J, 1872)   -  Southern Arizona and south-western New Mexico (south-western USA) south to Nayarit (central-western Mexico).
• latirostris Swainson, 1827   -  San Luis Potosí and Tamaulipas to northern Veracruz (east-central Mexico).
• lawrencei (von Berlepsch, 1887)   -  Is Tres Marías (off western coast of Mexico). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Tres Marias Hummingbird (Cynanthus lawrencei).
• propinquus Moore, RT, 1939   -  Guanajuato to Michoacan (central Mexico).
• doubledayi (Bourcier, 1847)   -  Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas (southern Mexico). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Turquoise-crowned Hummingbird (Cynanthus doubledayi).
