The antbird family Thamnophilidae used to be considered a subfamily, Thamnophilinae, within a larger family Formicariidae that included antthrushes and antpittas.Formerly, that larger family was known as the "antbird family" and the Thamnophilinae were "typical antbirds".
However, BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) treats P. e. cassini and P. e. maculifer as a separate species, the short-tailed antbird Poliocrania maculifer, and retains the English name chestnut-backed antbird for the other three subspecies. [9] [10] This article follows the one-species, five-subspecies model.
