Namuli Apalis (Apalis lynesi) [XC646282]
     by id from Nansua, Gurue, Zambezia Province, Mozambique (duet)

Subspecies
Apalis thoracica (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Bar-throated Apalis (Apalis thoracica), Taita Apalis (Apalis fuscigularis), Namuli Apalis (Apalis lynesi) and Yellow-throated Apalis (Apalis flavigularis) following Collar et al. (1994).

Until recently, this species, along with Yellow-throated Apalis (Apalis flavigularis) and Taita Apalis (Apalis fuscigularis), was treated as conspecific with Bar-throated Apalis (Apalis thoracica). Molecular-genetic evidence suggests that such treatment is perhaps more appropriate.

Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Bar-throated Apalis (Apalis thoracica).

No subspecies.
