The Checker-throated Stipplethroat ranges from Central America into northwestern South America. It is treated here as Epinecrophylla fulviventris; older sources may use Myrmotherula fulviventris for the same species. It feeds on insects and spiders in the lower storey of wet foothill forest.
Adult males have a black throat with white spots and a grey breast. Adult females have a buff throat and central breast.
It inhabits the lower storey of wet foothill forest and eats insect eggs, larvae and adults, as well as spiders.
