Each of the two polytypic groups is recognized as a separate species, based on vocal differences (Boesman 2016d) and deep genetic divergence (Harvey et al. 2020). Therefore the group Green Manakin (Choco) Cryptopipo holochlora litae/suffusa becomes Choco Manakin Cryptopipo litae, with subspecies suffusa and litae; and the group Green Manakin (Green) Cryptopipo holochlora holochlora/viridior becomes Green Manakin Cryptopipo holochlora, with subspecies holochlora and viridior.
