Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Santa Marta warbler was formerly placed in the genus Basileuterus. It was moved to the genus Myiothlypis based on the results of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2012.[2][3]
