Naming

Until recently, the Humaita antbird was considered a subspecies of the spot-winged antbird. A 2007 study of the vocal characteristics found significant differences between the taxa and based on this evidence the Humaita antbird was promoted to species status. As presently defined, the Humaita antbird is monotypic.
