Taxonomy
Proposed to be split up into five species:
- Spot-winged Antbird, S. leucostigma with subspecies leucostigma, infuscata, subplumbea and intensa
- Humaita Antbird, S. humaythae, monotypic. Found in Amazonian Brazil and extreme N Bolivia.
- Brownish-headed Antbird, S. brunneiceps, monotypic. Found in S Peru.
- Rufous-faced Antbird, S. rufifacies, monotypic. Found in Brazil.
- Roraiman Antbird, S. saturata with subspecies saturata and obscura. Found in easternmost tepus of Venezuela.
As is the case with all members of the genus Schistocichla, it is often included in the genus Percnostola instead.
