Subspecies
Appears to form a species group with Rio Branco Antbird (Cercomacra carbonaria), Mato Grosso Antbird (Cercomacra melanaria) and Bananal Antbird (Cercomacra ferdinandi) on basis of plumage, vocalizations and ecology, with Manu Antbird (Cercomacra manu) probably sister to the group. Birds from north-western Colombia sometimes separated as subspecies atrata, but considered indistinguishable from other populations.

No subspecies.
