Subspecies
Subspecies melanorrhoa long considered a separate species, but intergrades with isaurae along border of Costa Rica with Panama. Geographically isolated subspecies intermedia often placed in White-vented Plumeleteer (Chalybura buffonii), but its largely pinkish mandible supports treatment in present species. Nevertheless, it might be better considered a separate species. More study is required.

Proposed subspecies incognita probably best treated as a synonym of isaurae.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

  • melanorrhoa Salvin, 1865   -  Caribbean slope of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
  • isaurae (Gould, 1861)   -  Caribbean slope of Panama to extreme north-western Colombia; locally on Pacific slope in western and central Panama, and extensively in eastern Panama.
  • urochrysia (Gould, 1861)   -  Extreme south-eastern Panama, north-central and western Colombia, and extreme north-western Ecuador.
  • intermedia E. Hartert and C. Hartert, 1894   -  Subtropical zone of south-western Ecuador. Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of White-vented Plumeleteer (Chalybura buffonii).
