(Ridgway 1888); "Dichrozona RIDGWAY, Proc. U. S. Mus., 10. 1888, p. 524 (type by original designation Dichrozona zononota RIDGWAY = Cyphorhinus (Microcerculus) cinctus PELZELN)." (Hellmayr, 1924, Cat. Birds Americas, Pt. III, p. 165); "59. Dichrozona cincta  ...  Specimens from extreme ends of range differ in plumage coloration; possible races stellata (E Ecuador, W Brazil) and zononota (WC Brazil, N Bolivia) described primarily on basis of darkness and coloration of crown and back, darkness and extent of grey on flanks, and size and number of breast spots, but comparative documentation appears insufficient; further study required."
