Subspecies
Differences in display and behaviour do not suggest particularly close relationship with Black-tailed Trainbearer (Lesbia victoriae). Probably closely related to Ramphomicron. Subspecies eucharis, formerly thought to have come from Colombia, was provisionally placed in Black-tailed Trainbearer (Lesbia victoriae). Subspecific differences rather weak.

Proposed subspecies chlorura is synonym of eucharis; boliviana is synonym of nominate.

The following 7 subspecies are recognised:

  • gouldii (Loddiges, 1832)   -  Andes of north-eastern and south-central Colombia; old record from Venezuela (Mérida).
  • gracilis (Gould, 1846)   -  Andes of Ecuador.
  • pallidiventris (Simon, 1902)   -  Andes of northern Peru.
  • eucharis (Bourcier and Mulsant, 1848)   -  Mountains near Huánuco (central Peru).
  • nuna (Lesson, 1832)   -  Andes of south-western Peru and northern Bolivia.
  • aureliae Weller & Schuchmann, 2004   -  Southern Ecuador.
  • huallagae Weller & Schuchmann, 2004   -  Central Peru.
