Note:

By Pastore (2012), Caamembeca amazonensis and Caamembeca autranii were included as additional subspecies. Moreover, Caamembeca formosa partly was included in the typical subspecies of Caamembeca spectabilis. More recently, Pastore et al. (2017) have treated the latter species in a narrower sense.
