Ecomorph class: trunk-ground.

Species group: Ctenonotus cristatellus species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012). 
EtymologyNamed after Johannes Christoph (Juan Cristóbal) Gundlach (1810-1896), German zoologist and ornithologist. He was a Curator at Philipps-Universität Marburg and later at Naturmuseum Senckenberg, Frankfurt, then lived in Cuba (1839-1896), except during the Civil War (1868-1878), when he stayed in Puerto Rico (Beolens et al. 2011).
