Other common names: Fulvous(-bellied) Antwren
Taxonomy: Myrmetherula [sic] fulviventris Lawrence, 1862, Lion Hill, Canal Zone, Panama.
Genetic, morphological and behavioural analyses indicate that this species is part of a monophyletic group that also includes M. gutturalis, M. leucophthalma, M. spodionota, M. haematonota, M. fjeldsaai, M. ornata and M. erythrura (the “stipple-throated antwren assemblage”), and which may not be closely related to other species placed in the genus.

Although four races have been described, namely, costaricensis (S Honduras to W Panama), fulviventris (E Panama to W Colombia), salmoni (C Colombia) and viduata (NW Ecuador), conflicting information surrounds the diagnosability and geographical ranges of these; further study required. Monotypic.
Distribution: Caribbean slope from extreme SE Honduras S to W Panama, thence both slopes E from Veraguas, and Colombia (Pacific slope, base of N end of Andes E to Santander, and Magdalena Valley S to Antioquia and Boyacá) and W Ecuador (S to El Oro).
