Subspecies
Morphological, vocal and molecular studies indicate that, with exception of Narrow-billed Antwren (Formicivora iheringi), all species placed in current genus form a well-defined group. Following its original description, present species was transferred to genus Myrmotherula. After long period with no records, species was rediscovered, and information on vocalizations and ecology strongly indicated that it should be returned to its present genus, a conclusion supported by recent extensive morphological and vocal study.

No subspecies.
