By the mid 1960's, researchers recommended that it be moved to its current genus, Myioborus, based on various similarities with the other whitestarts.
The largest current genus is Ramaria, which has species with branched fruit bodies and ochre to brownish spores.
Several of these species appear to be Oncorhynchus-the current genus for Pacific salmon and some trout.
Petter Karsten transferred it to its current genus, Hapalopilus, in 1881.
Originally described by Linnaeus, it was placed in its current genus by Robert Brown in 1818.
Rolf Singer placed it in its current genus, Volvariella, in 1951.
It was transferred to its current genus in 1826 by William Herbert.
It was assigned to the current genus in 1912 along with a newly described species, G. jessei.
It was moved into its current genus by German naturalist Blasius Merrem in 1804.
Faivovich et al. could not assign these species to a current genus, so they allocated them to the non-taxon "Hyla".
