The first known specimen of the cinnamon-faced tyrannulet was collected in 1899 but was misidentified as a rufous-lored tyrannulet (P. flaviventris). When it was recognized as a separate species the two were suggested to form a superspecies. The cinnamon-faced tyrannulet's specific epithet honors American ornithologist Theodore A.
