Subspecies
No subspecies.
Genus formerly treated as constituting a separate family of uncertain affinities or, sometimes, as a subfamily within Tyrannidae. However, more recent genetic data indicate close relationship, possibly as sister-group, to a cotingid clade formed by the genera Ampelion, Doliornis and Zaratornis. Forms superspecies with White-tipped Plantcutter (Phytotoma rutila).
