Subspecies
Close relationship to Rio Suno Antwren (Myrmotherula sunensis) and Salvadori's Antwren (Myrmotherula minor) suggested by similarities in morphology, behaviour and vocalizations. Often grouped with those and White-flanked Antwren (Myrmotherula axillaris), Rio de Janeiro Antwren (Myrmotherula fluminensis), Rio Suno Antwren (Myrmotherula sunensis), Salvadori's Antwren (Myrmotherula minor), Ihering's Antwren (Myrmotherula iheringi), Plain-winged Antwren (Myrmotherula behni), Ashy Antwren (Myrmotherula grisea), Unicolored Antwren (Myrmotherula unicolor), Alagoas Antwren (Myrmotherula snowi), Long-winged Antwren (Myrmotherula longipennis), Band-tailed Antwren (Myrmotherula urosticta) and Grey Antwren (Myrmotherula menetriesii) as the "grey antwren assemblage", although this grouping possibly not monophyletic.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • schisticolor (Lawrence, 1865)   -  Extreme south-eastern Mexico (Chiapas) southern on lower mountain slopes (Caribbean slope north of Nicaragua, mostly Pacific slope in Panama) to Colombia (western and west-central Andes) and Ecuador (Pacific slope).
  • sanctaemartae Allen, JA, 1900   -  North-eastern Colombia (Santa Marta Mts and Perijá Mts) and northern Venezuela (Perijá Mts, Andes and coastal range east to Sucre).
  • interior (Chapman, 1914)   -  Andes in Colombia (western slope of central range, eastern range, eastern slope of southern range) and on eastern slope south to Peru (south to Puno).
