Subspecies
Genus may be most closely related to Margarops. Contrary to earlier opinion, appears not to be close to Ramphocinclus. Probably forms a superspecies with Grey Trembler (Cinclocerthia gutturalis), and previously considered conspecific. Subspecies tremula possibly merits treatment as a separate species.

Proposed subspecies pavida (St Kitts) and sola (Montserrat) considered indistinguishable from that subspecies.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

tremula (Lafresnaye, 1843) - Northern Lesser Antilles (Saba, Barbuda, St Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Guadeloupe).
ruficauda (Gould, 1836) - Dominica, in central Lesser Antilles.
tenebrosa Ridgway, 1904 - St Vincent and Grenada, in southern Lesser Antilles.
pavida Ridgway, 1904 - Lesser Antilles (Montserrat and adjacent north-western Leeward Islands).
