Subspecies
Eurylaimus steerii (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Mindanao Wattled Broadbill (Sarcophanops steerii) and Visayan Wattled Broadbill (Sarcophanops samarensis) following Lambert and Woodcock (1996).

Genus often merged into Eurylaimus, but significant morphological differences. At the same time was considered conspecific with Visayan Wattled Broadbill (Sarcophanops samarensis), but the two differ strikingly in plumage coloration and better treated as forming a superspecies. Subspecies mayri possibly not always separable from nominate. Further study is needed.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

steerii Sharpe, 1876 - South-western Mindanao (Zamboanga Peninsula), Malamaui and Basilan, in Philippines.
mayri (Salomonsen, 1953) - Dinagat, Poneas, Siargao and central, southern and eastern Mindanao.
