Green-breasted Mango (Female) © Geoff Jones

Forms superspecies with Black-throated Mango (Anthracothorax nigricollis) and Veraguas Mango (Anthracothorax veraguensis), and probably also Green-throated Mango (Anthracothorax viridigula). Very closely related to Black-throated Mango (Anthracothorax nigricollis), and occasionally regarded as conspecific, the two evidently replacing each other geographically, with at most very local sympatry in northern Venezuela, south-western Colombia and perhaps elsewhere. Often considered conspecific with Veraguas Mango (Anthracothorax veraguensis). Subspecies iridescens has alternatively been treated as a subspecies of Black-throated Mango (Anthracothorax nigricollis), or a full species.

Proposed subspecies nigrilineatus of Bay Is (Honduras) now held to be inseparable from gracilirostris and proposed pinchoti of San Andrés I generally regarded as inseparable from hendersoni.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

• prevostii (Lesson, 1832)   -  Eastern and southern Mexico south to Guatemala, Belize and (possibly migrants) El Salvador.
• gracilirostris Ridgway, 1910   -  El Salvador and Honduras south to central Costa Rica.
• hendersoni (Cory, 1887)   -  San Andrés I and Providencia I in western Caribbean.
• viridicordatus Cory, 1913   -  Extreme north-eastern Colombia (Guajira Peninsula) and coastal slope of northern Venezuela.
• iridescens (Gould, 1861)   -  Arid upper Cauca Valley (western Colombia), and coastal slope of south-western Ecuador and extreme north-western Peru.
