Subspecies
Relationships of genus not clearly established. Preliminary molecular evidence suggests affiliation with Thamnophilus, and morphological characteristics have connected it with Thamnomanes. Species was formerly treated as conspecific with geographically remote White-streaked Antvireo (Dysithamnus leucostictus), and incorrectly transferred to Thamnomanes.
No subspecies.
