Subspecies
Resembles Henicorhina in many aspects (song, plumage, nest), but recent DNA work suggests that it is closer to Troglodytes. Currently placed by most authors in its own genus, pending further investigation. Validity of subspecies disputed.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

ridgwayi (Bangs, 1902) - Highlands of central Costa Rica (Volc�n Turrialba, Volc�n Iraz� and adjacent areas).
basultoi Ridgway, 1908 - Cordillera de Dota, in south-central Costa Rica.
browni (Bangs, 1902) - Western Panama (Volc�n Bar�, Volc�n de Chiriqu��, Cerro Copete).
