Subspecies
No subspecies.

Possible relationship to the Ash-browed Spinetail (Cranioleuca curtata) superspecies proposed by some authors on basis of plumage, vocalizations and montane distribution. Others suggest that it is part of a superspecies that includes Crested Spinetail (Cranioleuca subcristata), Stripe-crowned Spinetail (Cranioleuca pyrrhophia), Bolivian Spinetail (Cranioleuca henricae), Olive Spinetail (Cranioleuca obsoleta), Creamy-crested Spinetail (Cranioleuca albicapilla), Line-cheeked Spinetail (Cranioleuca antisiensis) and Baron's Spinetail (Cranioleuca baroni), but genetic data suggest that at least the last two of those are not part of this lineage.
