Close relationship with Ferruginous-backed Antbird (Myrmoderus ferrugineus), Scalloped Antbird (Myrmoderus ruficauda) and White-bibbed Antbird (Myrmoderus loricatus) suggested by similarities in plumage, vocalizations and nest architecture. Forms a superspecies with White-bibbed Antbird (Myrmoderus loricatus), and the two have been considered conspecific by some authors.
