These species were formerly placed in the genus Cercomacra . A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Cercomacra, as then defined, was polyphyletic. [2] The genus was split to create monophyletic genera and six species were moved to the newly erected genus Cercomacroides with the dusky antbird as the type species. [1] [2]
