Subspecies
Forms a superspecies with Junin Canastero (Asthenes virgata), probably also including Scribble-tailed Canastero (Asthenes maculicauda). Possibly conspecific with Junin Canastero (Asthenes virgata), which is its sister-species.

Proposed subspecies pallida, from northern Peru, described as darker above with streaks whiter, paler below with reduced markings and more buffy flanks and undertail-coverts, is considered best synonymized with taczanowskii, although has been thought to be distinguishable by clearer back streaking and more of a buff-ochraceous wash on throat and neck.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

  • multostriata (Sclater, PL, 1858)   -  Eastern Andes of Colombia (Norte de Santander south to southern Cundinamarca).
  • quindiana (Chapman, 1915)   -  Central Andes of Colombia (Caldas south to Cauca).
  • flammulata (Jardine, 1850)   -  Western Andes of southern Colombia (Nariño) south to extreme northern Peru (northern Cajamarca).
  • taczanowskii (von Berlepsch & Stolzmann, 1894)   -  Andes of northern and central Peru (southern Amazonas and southern Cajamarca south to Ancash and Juní­n).
  • pallida Carriker, 1933   -  Andes of northern Peru (La Libertad and Cajamarca).
