Subspecies
Morphology suggests closest relationship to genus Upucerthia, but nest type is very different. Considered by some authors to be closer to Cinclodes. Nest structure, however, suggests possible relationship to such genera as Phacellodomus, Synallaxis, Pseudoseisura and Asthenes, and plumage coloration, especially tail pattern, vaguely recalls those of some species in Asthenes.

No subspecies.
