Subspecies
Closely allied to Neopipo and Hirundinea. Differences among subspecies vieillotioides, spadix and pariae appear subtle at best, and these taxa perhaps should be merged. Differences between nominate and pyrrhopterus also slight, and may reflect clinal variation from north to southern within Andes.
