Subspecies
No subspecies.
Systematic position of genus doubtful. Possibly closest to Tyranneutes, and both genera almost certainly only distantly related to the typical piprids. Probably closer to the Tyrannidae but traditionally included in present family, where retained pending further study. Considered to form a superspecies with Saffron-crested Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma chrysocephalum), Wied's Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma aurifrons), Pale-bellied Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma pallescens) and Serra do Mar Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma chrysolophum).
