A number of species of Rhizopogon are morphologically similar and they are collectively known as the R. vinicolor species complex.
A phylogenetic investigation of R. vinicolor, R. diabolicus, R. ochraceisporus, R. parvulus and R. versiculosus was published in 2002.
It was determined that they separated into two distinct clades, R. vinicolor and R. versiculosus.
