Subspecies
Geographically isolated subspecies woodi recently suggested to be sufficiently distinctive to warrant species status, but characters appear to be doubtfully strong enough and vocal evidence requires further study. A rigorous review is required.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

  • bonvaloti (Oustalet, 1892)   -  Southern China (west-central Sichuan south to south-eastern Xizang and north-western Yunnan).
  • lanceolatus Verreaux, J, 1871   -  Central and southern China (southern Gansu, southern Shaanxi and western Hubei, south to central and northern Yunnan, central and eastern Sichuan and northern Guizhou) and north-eastern and central Myanmar.
  • latouchei (Stresemann, 1929)   -  South-eastern China (southern Guizhou, northern and central Guangxi, Guangdong, central Fujian).
  • woodi Finn, 1902   -  North-eastern India (south-eastern Mizoram) and western Myanmar (Chin Hills). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Mount Victoria Babax (Garrulax woodi).
