Close relationship to M. schisticolor and M. sunensis suggested by similarities in morphology, behaviour and vocalizations. Often grouped with those and M. axillaris, M. iheringi, M. fluminensis, M. behni, M. grisea, M. unicolor, M. snowi, M. longipennis, M. urosticta and M. menetriesii as the “grey antwren assemblage”, although this grouping possibly not monophyletic. Specimens from SW Amazonia tentatively assigned to this species by earlier authors, but identity of these requires substantiation, including further field studies and vocal and molecular analysis; may represent a distinct species. Monotypic.
Distribution: Coastal SE Brazil from SE Bahia S to extreme NE Santa Catarina; also old records from E Minas Gerais.
