Subspecies
No obvious close relatives within genus. Short-billed Canastero (Asthenes baeri) suggested by some authors as possible sister-species on basis of plumage similarities.

Proposed Argentine subspecies leptasthenuroides (of which affinis is a synonym), described from Tucumán, and flavogularis, from Bahia Blanca (Buenos Aires) and Santa Cruz, represent seasonal plumage variation within subspecies sordida and nominate, respectively.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

  • sordida (Lesson, R, 1839)   -  Breeds central and southern Chile (Aconcagua south to Aisén, also sight records from Magallanes) and west-central Argentina (southern Mendoza, Neuquén, western Rí­o Negro); some migrate north to north-western Argentina and southern Bolivia.
  • affinis Berlepsch, 1906   -  Central Argentina and Chile. Winters to Bolivia and Paraguay.
  • pyrrholeuca (Vieillot, 1817)   -  Breeds central and southern Argentina (south-western Santiago del Estero, north-eastern Córdoba, and from southern La Pampa and south-western Buenos Aires south to central Santa Cruz; some migrate north to eastern and north-eastern Argentina and southern Paraguay.
  • flavogularis Gould, 1839   -  Eastern and southern Argentina (Buenos Aires to Santa Cruz).
