The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • magnus (Cherrie & Reichenberger, 1921)   -  South-eastern Colombia, north-eastern Ecuador and Amazonian Brazil south to eastern Peru, north-eastern Bolivia and Mato Grosso.
  • erythropis (Vieillot, 1818)   -  Eastern Brazil in Pernambuco and from Bahia to Sío Paulo.
