Subspecies
Members of genus form a well-defined clade, and appear to be closely related to Hypocnemis. Genetic analysis indicates that subspecies stictocorypha may be a separate species. Possible differences in vocalizations and ecology remain to be investigated further. Geographical ranges based on plumage, but likely to be revised after other characteristics have been studied.
The following 2 subspecies are recognised:
squamata (Lichtenstein, 1823) - Eastern Brazil in eastern Alagoas and eastern Bahia.
stictocorypha (Boucard & von Berlepsch, 1892) - South-eastern Brazil (eastern Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, and eastern Sío Paulo south to extreme north-eastern Santa Catarina).
