Genetically most closely related to the two Middle American species L. aurantius and L. leucothorax; replaced S of R Amazon by L. versicolor. Original spelling has often been cited as “sulva”, but this stems from typographical error in a later copy; original spelling is “fulva”. Two subspecies recognized.
