(Temminck, 1822)

The rufous-winged antwren was described by the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1822 and given the binomial name Myiothera rufimarginatus.[2][3] It is now placed in the genus Herpsilochmus which was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847.[4] The specific epithet rufimarginatus is from the Latin rufus "rufous" and marginatus "marginned" or "bordered".[5]
