Subspecies
No subspecies.

Evidently forms a superspecies with Alagoas Foliage-gleaner (Philydor novaesi). Named form Philydor hylobius, previously believed by some to be an isolated population of present species, in fact represents the juvenile plumage of White-throated Foliage-gleaner (Syndactyla roraimae). Species name invariable, so, in contrast to the cases of several other taxa currently recognized within Philydor, must not be made to agree with neuter gender of genus.
