Dusky Purpletuft © surinamebirds.nl

Genus has been suggested, on basis of morphological analysis, as possibly belonging to an assemblage containing Laniisoma and genera currently placed in Pipridae (Schiffornis) and Tyrannidae (Laniocera, Xenopsaris, Pachyramphus). Traditional placement within present family considered preferable, pending further study. Species is closely related to, and forming a superspecies with, White-browed Purpletuft (Iodopleura isabellae) and possibly conspecific, but differences comparable to those between other species pairs within family and treatment as separate species seems justified.
