Subspecies
Genus was for long placed in the family Formicariidae or together with the gnateaters (Conopophaga) in the Conopophagidae. Numerous anatomical, behavioural and genetic characters, however, indicate affinities within present family, probably closest to Pseudotriccus. Forms a superspecies with Ringed Antpipit (Corythopis torquatus) and the two are possibly conspecific, but differ vocally, also slightly in plumage, and ranges apparently overlap in central Brazil (upper R Xingu drainage).
