Quick Facts Conservation status, Scientific classification ...

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.

The white-bibbed antbird was formerly included in the genus Myrmeciza. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Myrmeciza, as then defined, was polyphyletic.[2] In the resulting rearrangement to create monotypic genera four species including the white-bibbed antbird were moved to the resurrected genus Myrmoderus.[3]
