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 Col�n, Pacific slope eastern from Cocl�) and northern Colombia (extreme northern Choc� east to western slope of north-eastern Andes in La Guajira, C�sar and Bol��var).
longipes (Swainson, 1825) - Extreme north-eastern Colombia (eastern slope of Andes in Norte de Santander), northern Venezuela (Zulia, T�chira 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 Guain��a), southern and eastern Venezuela (northern Amazonas, northern Bol��var, Delta Amacuro), western Guyana, also locally in southern French Guiana and north-eastern Brazil north of R Amazon (north-eastern Roraima, central Amap�, east-central Par�).
