No subspecies.

Genus often subsumed in Nectarinia. Supposedly larger birds from Bioko I described as subspecies amadoni, and others, from R Lualaba, in DRCongo, described as subspecies marginatus. However, both fall within range of variation of populations elsewhere in species' area of distribution.
