     by GABRIEL LEITE from Mucaja\u00ed, State of Roraima, Brazil (call, song)

Subspecies
Closest to Slate-coloured Antbird (Myrmelastes schistaceus) and Spot-winged Antbird (Myrmelastes leucostigma), but is distinct in external structure and appears to occupy an unusual ecological niche, suggesting relatively ancient divergence. Subspecies poorly differentiated.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

  • caurensis (Hellmayr, 1906)   -  Southern Venezuela (western Bolí­var, northern Amazonas).
  • australis (Zimmer, JT & Phelps, 1947)   -  Southern Venezuela (southern Amazonas) and immediately adjacent northern Brazil.
