Hume's treecreeper (Certhia manipurensis) was earlier included within the brown-throated treecreeper complex and identified as a separate species on the basis of their distinctive calls. This species in the treecreeper family is found in Assam, Myanmar, Shan Mountains, Northern Thailand, Laos and the Dalat Plateau.[2]

This form has a rich cinnamon throat and breast with support for their status coming from nd molecular evidence and calls.[3][4]

The name commemorates the British naturalist Allan Octavian Hume who worked in India .[5]
