Subspecies
Sometimes retained in the genus Edoliosoma. Forms a superspecies with Cicadabird (Edolisoma tenuirostre), Sumba Cicadabird (Edolisoma dohertyi), Sula Cicadabird (Edolisoma sula) and Makira Cicadabird (Edolisoma salomonis). Has been regarded as conspecific with Cicadabird (Edolisoma tenuirostre). Two individuals of present taxon collected in Seram Laut (Maar I) together with immature male evidently of Cicadabird (Edolisoma tenuirostre) (possibly of subspecies amboinensis), although identity of latter questionable. Considered better to treat present taxon as a separate species, pending resolution of the question of apparent sympatry on Maar.

No subspecies.
