Taxonomy: M[uscicapa] simplex M. H. K. Lichtenstein, 1823, Bahia, Brazil.
Placed by early authors in the family Cotingidae, with supposed close relationship to genera Laniocera and Lipaugus. Well-supported anatomical evidence, however, indicates that it is a tyrannid, having close affinities to Sirystes, Casiornis and Myiarchus. Two subspecies currently recognized.
