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. Was at same time considered conspecific with Mindanao Wattled Broadbill (Sarcophanops steerii), but the two differ strikingly in plumage coloration and better treated as forming a superspecies.

No subspecies.
