"The taxonomic divisions and subspecific range limits of Slate-crowned Antpitta are far from resolved." As of 2024 the slaty-crowned antpitta has these six subspecies assigned:

G. n. occidentalis Todd, 1927
G. n. nana (Lafresnaye, 1842)
G. n. hallsi Donegan, 2008
G. n. nanitaea Donegan, 2008
G. n. olivascens Hellmayr, 1917
G. n. kukenamensis Chubb, C, 1918
What are now the two subspecies of the Sucre antpitta (G. cumanensis) were previously treated as subspecies of the slaty-crowned. Some authors have suggested that G. n. kukenamensis should be treated as a full species but this suggestion has not gained wide support. The Clements taxonomy does note it within the species as the "Slate-crowned Antpitta (Guianan)" distinguished from the other five subspecies grouped as the "Slate-crowned Antpitta (Slate-crowned)"

It occurs in a wide range of semi-open habitats, even in gardens and parks within major cities such as Quito, and is often the most common species of hummingbird in its range. It is highly vocal and territorial.
