Olive-backed Foliage-gleaner © wikiaves.com.br

Forms a superspecies with White-eyed Foliage-gleaner (Automolus leucophthalmus), as suggested by voice, plumage pattern and biogeography. Recent study shows that subspecies paraensis is vocally distinct, and should be treated as a separate species. Subspecies south of R Amazon significantly larger in measurements than those north of it, but none is diagnosable by biometrics alone.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

• infuscatus (Sclater, 1856)   -  South-eastern Colombia (southern from southern Meta and eastern Guainí­a), eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru and northern Bolivia (western Pando, extreme northern La Paz).
• badius Zimmer, JT, 1935   -  Eastern Colombia (Vichada), southern Venezuela (western Bolí­var, Amazonas) and north-western Brazil (E, north of R Amazon, to lower R Negro).
• cervicalis (Sclater, PL, 1889)   -  Eastern Venezuela (eastern Bolí­var), the Guianas and northern Brazil (lower R Negro east to Amapá).
• purusianus Todd, 1948   -  Western Brazil south of Amazon (eastern to, presumably, left bank of R Madeira).
• paraensis Hartert, 1902   -  North-central Brazil (from right bank of R Madeira east to Maranhío, south to Rondônia and northern Mato Grosso). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Para Foliage-gleaner (Automolus paraensis).
