Naming
Five subspecies are currently recognized:⤷ ''E. p. pallatangae'' – Sclater, 1862: found in Colombia and Ecuador
⤷ ''E. p. intensa'' – Zimmer, 1941: found in Peru
⤷ ''E. p. exsul'' – Todd, 1952: found in Bolivia
⤷ ''E. p. olivina'' – Salvin & Godman, 1884: found in the tepuis of southeastern Venezuela and Guyana
⤷ ''E. p. davidwillardi'' – Dickerman & Phelps Jr, 1987: found in the tepuis of southern Venezuela
Due to the recently discovered genetic divergence of both ''E. p. olivina'' and ''E. p. davidwillardi'' from the nominate subspecies, some authorities now consider them to be a separate species, the Tepui elaenia.
