South-central Asian subspecies carruthersi, flavipectus and berezowskii frequently considered to represent a separate species, but flavipectus hybridizes with subspecies tianschanicus where ranges meet in southern Kyrgyzstan; hybridization, however, appears to be limited. In addition, geographical variation slight and mostly clinal; in particular, subspecies yenisseensis intergrades both with tianschanicus and with hyperrhiphaeus.

The following 8 subspecies are recognised:

• cyanus (Pallas, 1770)   -  Belarus and western and central European Russia east to central Urals.
• hyperrhiphaeus Dementiev & Heptner, 1932   -  South-western Urals, south-western Siberia and northern Kazakhstan.
• yenisseensis Buturlin, 1911   -  South-central Siberia, Altai Mts and northern Mongolia east to north-eastern China (Nei Mongol, Manchuria) and Russian Far East.
• tianschanicus Menzbier, 1884   -  Mountains of south-eastern Kazakhstan and adjacent Kyrgyzstan (central and eastern Tien Shan) east to north-western China (northern and western Xinjiang).
• koktalensis Portenko, 1954   -  Lowlands of south-eastern Kazakhstan.
• carruthersi (Hartert, 1917)   -  Kyrgyzstan and northern Tajikistan (Alai Mts and western Pamirs).
• flavipectus (Severtsov, 1873)   -  Southern Kyrgyzstan (eastern Alai Range and western Tien Shan) south to northern Afghanistan. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Yellow-breasted Tit (Parus flavipectus).
• berezowskii Pleske, 1893   -  North-eastern Qinghai, in north-central China.
