Subspecies
Relationships uncertain. Possibly closest to Black-headed Antbird (Percnostola rufifrons), or alternatively perhaps not closely related to any other members of genus. Original description of species almost certainly based on a subadult male, having female-like plumage. Adult male described much later, as a separate species "Percnostola macrolopha", and only relatively recently realized to be adult male of present species.

No subspecies.
