Subspecies
No subspecies.

Close relationship to Pale-breasted Spinetail (Synallaxis albescens) and Dark-breasted Spinetail (Synallaxis albigularis) suggested by plumage and vocal similarities. In the past was considered conspecific with Cinereous-breasted Spinetail (Synallaxis hypospodia). The two are thought to be possibly sister-species by some authors, but others consider them not closely related because of differences in tail morphology, throat pattern and voice.
