Often placed together with B. flaveolus, B. leucophrys, B. fulvicauda and B. rivularis in a separate genus, Phaeothlypis; this species and B. leucophrys appear to bridge the gap between B. flaveolus and the "classic" Phaeothlypis superspecies (fulvicauda and rivularis). Two subspecies recognized.

  • leucoblepharus ( Vieillot, 1817) - SE Brazil (S from São Paulo and S Minas Gerais), S Paraguay and NE Argentina.
