Subspecies
Possibly conspecific with vocally similar White-lored Antpitta (Hylopezus fulviventris). Racial affiliation of birds from south-eastern Peru uncertain and are currently placed in nominate subspecies, but at least some may belong with yessupi.
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
yessupi (Carriker, 1930) - Eastern and central Peru (southern from central Loreto) and immediately adjacent western Brazil.
berlepschi (Hellmayr, 1903) - Southern Amazonian Brazil from upper R Purús north-east to Pará (between lower R Xingú and lower R Tapajós), south-west to south-eastern Peru, north-central Bolivia and northern Mato Grosso.
