Subspecies and Distribution:

- pallididorsalis Aldrich, 1937 - Panama and adjacent islands (except Coiba I).
- flavogaster (Thunberg, 1822) - Colombia, Venezuela (including Margarita I and Patos I), Trinidad, Tobago, S Lesser Antilles (the Grenadines, Grenada), the Guianan Shield, Brazil (S, except in W & C Amazonas, to Rio Grande do Sul), SE Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and NE Argentina.
- semipagana P. L. Sclater, 1861 - extreme SW Colombia, W & S Ecuador (including Puná I) and interior NW Peru.
