The Imeri warbling antbird was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1865 and given the binomial name Hypocnemis flavescens.[2] Until recently, it was considered a subspecies of Hypocnemis cantator, but based on vocal differences and to a lesser degree differences in plumages it is now treated as a separate species.[3][4][5]

There are two subspecies:[5]

  • H. f. flavescens Sclater, PL, 1865 – east Colombia, south Venezuela and northwest Brazil
  • H. f. perflava Pinto, 1966 – central Roraima in northern Brazil

Its conservation status has been assessed by BirdLife International as Least Concern.[1]
