The species now placed in this genus were formerly placed with the red-crowned ant tanager in the genus Habia. Molecular phylogenetic analysis found that the genus Habia was paraphyletic. To resolve the paraphyly, four species were moved from Habia to a new genus Driophlox that was erected with Phoenicothraupis gutturalis Sclater, PL, 1854, as the type species. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek δριος/drios meaning "thicket" or "copse" with φλοξ/phlox, φλογος/phlogos meaning "flame".The genus contains four species:
