Genus appears not to represent a monophyletic grouping, but traditional arrangement maintained pending further phylogenetic study. Closely related to Northern Chestnut-tailed Antbird (Sciaphylax castanea), until recently considered conspecific but differing mainly in voice.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

• hemimelaena (Sclater, 1857)   -  Eastern Peru (south of R Marañón and R Amazon), south-western Amazonian Brazil (east to R Madeira, south to Acre) and north-western Bolivia west of R Mamoré and R Grande (Pando, La Paz, western Beni, Cochabamba, western Santa Cruz).
