Subspecies
Garrulax lineatus (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Streaked Laughingthrush (Trochalopteron lineatum) and Bhutan Laughingthrush (Trochalopteron imbricatum) following Collar (2006).
Genus usually subsumed in Garrulax. Species sometimes placed in genus Trochalopteron. Until recently considered conspecific with Bhutan Laughingthrush (Trochalopteron imbricatum), but distinct in many features, with no intergradation despite close geographical proximity. Also, most vocalizations differ considerably.
