Subspecies
This genus and Hylophilus sometimes placed together in a subfamily Vireoninae. Closely related to eight other scrub-dwelling vireos, namely Thick-billed Vireo (Vireo crassirostris), Mangrove Vireo (Vireo pallens), Cozumel Vireo (Vireo bairdi), San Andres Vireo (Vireo caribaeus), Jamaican Vireo (Vireo modestus), Cuban Vireo (Vireo gundlachii), Puerto Rican Vireo (Vireo latimeri) and Flat-billed Vireo (Vireo nanus). Probably closest to Thick-billed Vireo (Vireo crassirostris), which has been treated as conspecific. Subspecies perquisitor sometimes thought to represent a separate species. Conversely, noveboracensis sometimes synonymized with nominate.
