No obvious close relatives. Plumage, nest architecture and placement, and voice suggest relationship to Xenerpestes; morphology, nest architecture and voice also suggest possible link to Metopothrix or Margarornis; song and nest structure suggest possible link to some Asthenes or Cranioleuca. The only furnariid with juvenile plumage radically different from adult. Monotypic.
Distribution: SE Bahia, in E Brazil.
