Subspecies
Genus appears not to represent a monophyletic grouping, but traditional arrangement maintained pending further phylogenetic study. Along with Goeldi's Antbird (Akletos goeldii), White-shouldered Antbird (Akletos melanoceps), Sooty Antbird (Hafferia fortis) and Blue-lored Antbird (Hafferia immaculata) often considered to form a species group on basis of large size, but more work needed in order to confirm a close relationship.

No subspecies.
