This species is a specialist ant-followers that relies on swarms of army ants to flush insects and other arthropods out of the leaf litter.[2][3]

The white-throated antbird was described by the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch in 1901 and given the binomial name Pithys salvini.[4] It was subsequently included in the genus Gymnopithys until moved to the newly erected genus Oneillornis based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014.[5]
