Subspecies
No subspecies.

Apparently more closely related to Rufous Gnateater (Conopophaga lineata) than previously suggested. May be part of a group formed by that species along with Ash-throated Gnateater (Conopophaga peruviana), Slaty Gnateater (Conopophaga ardesiaca) and Chestnut-crowned Gnateater (Conopophaga castaneiceps), possibly also including Black-bellied Gnateater (Conopophaga melanogaster).
