The appearance of this toucanet is so distinctive that traditionally it was classified in the monotypic genus ''Baillonius''. Recent phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequence data, however, demonstrate that the Saffron Toucanet is a distinctively-plumaged species of aracari (''Pteroglossus''), and is most closely related to Green (''Pteroglossus viridis'') and Lettered aracaris (''Pteroglossus inscriptus''). | The appearance of this toucanet is so distinctive that traditionally it was classified in the monotypic genus ''Baillonius''.
