Relationships uncertain. Appears to be related to obligate ant-followers, e.g. Phlegopsis, Rhegmatorhina. Described subspecies chocoanus (eastern Panama, north-western Colombia) appears indistinguishable from nominate.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

mcleannani (Lawrence, 1860) - Central and eastern Panama (east from Veraguas on Caribbean slope, Panam� on Pacific slope) and north-western Colombia (south along Pacific slope to Valle del Cauca, and on northern Andean slope in C�rdoba and Antioquia).
pacificus Hellmayr, 1924 - Extreme south-western Colombia (Cauca, Nari�o) and north-western Ecuador (Esmeraldas).
