Spix's warbling antbird was described and illustrated by the German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix in 1825 and given the binomial name Thamnophilus striatus.[2] The current genus Hypocnemis was introduced in 1847.[3] Until recently, it was considered a subspecies of the Guianan warbling antbird (Hypocnemis cantator), but based on vocal differences and to a lesser degree differences in plumage, it is now treated as separate species.[4][5]

There are three subspecies:[6]

  • H. s. implicata Zimmer, JT, 1932 – west central Amazonian Brazil
  • H. s. striata (von Spix, 1825) – central Amazonian Brazil
  • H. s. affinis Zimmer, JT, 1932 – east central Amazonian Brazil

The westernmost population is likely to represent an undescribed subspecies. Spix's warbling antbird is found at lower levels in humid forest in the south-eastern Amazon of Brazil.
