Some early twentieth century authors later placed it in genus Capsiempis.

The two subspecies of what is now I. caudata were previously considered subspecies of I. subflava all under the name pale-tipped inezia. They were separated based on differences in their plumage and vocalizations that were detailed in a study published in 2000.
