Has sometimes been treated as conspecific with Javan White-eye (Zosterops flavus), Lemon-bellied White-eye (Zosterops chloris) and Yellow White-eye (Zosterops luteus), and sometimes with Oriental White-eye (Zosterops palpebrosus). Birds of this species recorded on Lomblen (east-central Lesser Sundas) of uncertain racial identity, provisionally included in harterti; those from Lucipara Is (in Banda Sea) provisionally included in albiventris.

Proposed subspecies intercalatus (from Sumba) merged with nominate; griseiventris (Tanimbar Is), bassetti (Damar I) and lettiensis (Leti I) subsumed in albiventris.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

• citrinella Bonaparte, 1850   -  Sumba, Savu, Timor and Roti (including islets of Ndana and Ndao).
• harterti Stresemann, 1912   -  Lomblen and Alor, in east-central Lesser Sundas.
• albiventris Reichenbach, 1852   -  Lucipara Is and Gunungapi (in Banda Sea), Wetar, Romang, Damar, Teun, Kisar, Leti, Moa, Luang, Sermata, Babar, Tanimbar Is (Molu, Lutu, Yamdena, Larat, Selaru); islands in Torres Straits (Warrior, Deliverance, Cairncross), and islets off extreme north-eastern Australia off (Eborac south to Rocky Islets, off north-eastern Cape York Peninsula).
• unicus Hartert, 1897   -  Lesser Sundas (Sumbawa and Flores). Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Oriental White-eye (Zosterops palpebrosus).
