The species were previously placed in the genus Rhinomyias but were moved to Vauriella when a detailed molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that Rhinomyias was polyphyletic.[2] The genus Vauriella had been introduced by the German ornithologist Hans Wolters in 1980.[3]
The four species in the genus are:[4]
- Eyebrowed jungle flycatcher (Vauriella gularis)
- White-throated jungle flycatcher (Vauriella albigularis)
- White-browed jungle flycatcher (Vauriella insignis)
- Slaty-backed jungle flycatcher (Vauriella goodfellowi)
There are also several species called "jungle flycatcher" in the genus Cyornis.[4]
