Affinities unclear. Probably an old endemic species of Solomon Is. Previously listed as Zosterops ugiensis, as present name was erroneously applied to Solomons White-eye (Zosterops kulambangrae).

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

rendovae Tristram, 1882 - San Cristobal, in south-eastern Solomon Is.
ugiensis Tristram, 1882 - Makira (Solomon Is.).
