Taxonomy
Only described in 2001. Before that it was assumed to be conspecific with Suiriri Flycatcher.
The inital scientific name was Suiriri islerorum, however it was later revealed that the appropriate name was S. affinis. Later again, it was realized this was not a close relative of the other species in genus Suiriri (Suiriri Flycatcher) and it was transferred to genus Guyramemua.
This is a monotypic species[1].
Habitat
Savanna and grasslands with scattered trees.
