The warbling antbird is a complex consisting of six species of antbirds that until recently were considered a single species found throughout the Amazon in South America. Based on vocal differences and to a lesser degree differences in plumages, it has been recommended treating them as separate species:
- Guianan warbling antbird (Hypocnemis cantator)
- Imeri warbling antbird (Hypocnemis flavescens)
- Peruvian warbling antbird (Hypocnemis peruviana)
- Yellow-breasted warbling antbird (Hypocnemis subflava)
- Rondonia warbling antbird (Hypocnemis ochrogyna)
- Spix's warbling antbird (Hypocnemis striata)
