Subspecies
Genus appears not to represent a monophyletic grouping, but traditional arrangement maintained pending further phylogenetic study. Close relationship with Scalloped Antbird (Myrmoderus ruficauda), White-bibbed Antbird (Myrmoderus loricatus) and Squamate Antbird (Myrmoderus squamosus) suggested by similarities in plumage, vocalizations and nest architecture.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

ferrugineus (M�ller, 1776) - Eastern Venezuela (eastern Bol��var east of R Caron��), the Guianas and north-eastern Amazonian Brazil (east of R Branco and R Negro).
elutus (Todd, 1927) - South-central Amazonian Brazil between lower R Madeira and lower R Tapaj�s.
