Related Species
The two species of Pittasoma are similar superficially to Grallaria antpittas (Grallariidae), and formerly were classified in the same family. Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data indicates, however, that Pittasoma is not closely related to Grallaria or other antpittas, but instead is sister to Conopophaga (Chesser 2004, Rice 2005a, 2005b; Moyle et al. 2009).
