Subspecies
Often placed next to Black-tailed Leaftosser (Sclerurus caudacutus) in traditional classifications, this based on similarity of throat patterns. However, other plumage similarities and biogeography suggest that this and Grey-throated Leaftosser (Sclerurus albigularis) are sister-species.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

cearensis Snethlage, E, 1924 - North-eastern Brazil (Cear� south to northern Bahia). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Ceara Leaftosser (Sclerurus cearensis).
scansor (M�n�tries, 1835) - Central, central-eastern and south-eastern Brazil (Mato Grosso, Goi�s and Minas Gerais south to Rio Grande do Sul), eastern Paraguay and north-eastern Argentina (Misiones).
