The long-tailed woodcreeper is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

Among the woodcreepers, the long-tailed woodcreeper is genetically most closely related to the olivaceous woodcreeper (Sittasomus griseicapillus).[3]

Seven subspecies are recognised.[4]

  • D. l. typica Cherrie, 1891 – Costa Rica and west Panama
  • D. l. darienensis Griscom, 1929 – east Panama
  • D. l. minor Todd, 1919 – north Colombia
  • D. l. longicauda (Pelzeln, 1868) – the Guianas and north Brazil
  • D. l. connectens Zimmer, JT, 1929 – east Colombia and south Venezuela to east Ecuador, east Peru and northwest Brazil
