Taxonomy: Sylvia culicivora W. Deppe, 1830, Jalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.

Races fall into three geographically discrete groups, the "culicivorus group" (also with brasierii, flavescens and godmani) of C America, "cabanisi group" (including also occultus, austerus and indignus) of N Colombia and NW Venezuela, and "auricapilla group" (remaining five races) of NE & S Venezuela and CE South America; groups are sometimes rega..

Birds of Oaxaca (S Mexico) sometimes separated as race ridgwayi. Race brasierii has sometimes been emended to "brasherii", but original description incorrectly spells dedicatee Brasher as "Brasier", so original spelling must stand. Thirteen subspecies currently recognized.
