Taxonomy: Chætocercus Berlepschi Simon, 1889, Ecuador.
Usually placed in genus Acestrura, along with C. mulsant, C. bombus, C. heliodor and C. astreans, but no evidence in external morphology justifies treatment in a genus separate from C. jourdanii. “C. harterti”, known only from type specimen from Colombia, may be of hybrid origin. Monotypic.
