These species were formerly placed in the genus Cercomacra. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Cercomacra, as then defined, was polyphyletic.[2] The genus was split to create monophyletic genera and six species were moved to the newly erected genus Cercomacroides with the dusky antbird as the type species.[1][2]
