Subspecies
No subspecies.

Forms a superspecies with Synallaxis cinerea and Pinto's Spinetail (Synallaxis infuscata), this superspecies suggested by some authors as being most closely related to Sooty-fronted Spinetail (Synallaxis frontalis), Azara's Spinetail (Synallaxis azarae) and Apurimac Spinetail (Synallaxis courseni) on basis of plumage and vocal similarities. Formerly considered to include Pinto's Spinetail (Synallaxis infuscata) as a subspecies, but vocal differences indicate that latter merits rank of full species.
