Related Species
Though in a monotypic genus, Ocellated Antbird shares a clade with most of the other obligate ant-following antbirds (Pithys, Willisornis, Phlegopsis, Gymnopithys, Ghegmatorhina) (Moyle 2009). Ocellated is most closely related to Pithys, but all these antbirds share obligate ant-following as an ancestral trait (Moyle 2009, Brumfield 2007).
