Subspecies
No subspecies.
Recent molecular-genetic analysis indicates that genus may be closest to Vanga, Cyanolanius, Schetba and Euryceros. However, cladistic analysis based on morphological characters suggests that it may not belong in the present family, but could be closer to drongos (Dicruridae) and monarch-flycatchers (Monarchidae).
