The Cordillera Azul antbird was first described in 2018. [3] The other four species were formerly included in the genus Myrmeciza . A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Myrmeciza, as then defined, was polyphyletic. [4] In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera four species were moved to the resurrected genus Myrmoderus. [2] The genus had originally been erected in 1909 by the American ornithologist Robert Ridgway with the white-bibbed antbird as the type species. [5]
