Genus sometimes merged into a broadly defined Philydor. Forms a superspecies with A. variegaticeps, race temporalis of which sometimes included in present species. Plumage variation in Andes appears to be clinal, with redder-backed C Peruvian populations of montana approaching appearance of yungae, specimens from Ayacucho more or less intermediate, also specimens from Bolivia (Cochabamba) darker than those from S Peru and specimens from La Paz intermediate; it seems likely that a quantitative analysis, including specimens from the gaps in current samples, would reveal rather smooth clinal variation from S Colombia to Bolivia or, alternatively, a number of diagnosable populations that are currently without taxonomic recognition. Proposed race jelskii, from C Peru, is based on discoloured specimen of montana. Six subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- anxia (Bangs, 1902) - Santa Marta Mts of N Colombia.
- perijana Phelps, Sr. & Phelps, Jr., 1952 - Perijá Mts of NW Venezuela and N Colombia.
