It was described by Carriker in 1933 and is a resident of humid and semi-humid montane forest undergrowth. Its range is split between the eastern Andes and a smaller western Andean area in Peru. It lives in dense cover with thickets, vine tangles and bamboo, and is a very small antpitta. The sexes look alike, and adults show a buffy ochre mark on the lores, a white arc behind the eye, and rich cinnamon ochraceous on the throat and breast.
