Naming
Goeldi's antbird was previously placed in the genus "Myrmeciza". A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that "Myrmeciza", as then defined, was polyphyletic. In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera this species was moved to the resurrected genus "Akletos" which had been introduced by the Polish ornithologist Andrzej Dunajewski in 1948.References:
