Taxonomy and systematics

The position of the chestnut-crowned gnateater in linear format is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and the Clements taxonomy place it differently within the gnateater family.

Four subspecies are recognized, though birds on the western slope of Colombia's Central Andes might be an unnamed taxon:

C. c. chocoensis Chapman (1915) C. c. castaneiceps Sclater (1857) C. c. chapmani Carriker (1933) C. c. brunneinucha von Berlepsch & Stolzmann (1896)
