Little Greenbul (Eurillas virens) and Hall's Greenbul (Andropadus hallae) (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) have been lumped into Andropadus virens following Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993).
Genus formerly submerged in Pycnonotus. Described taxon Andropadus hallae, known only from the single type specimen (from eastern DRCongo), now considered a melanistic form of Little Greenbul (Eurillas virens).
Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Little Greenbul (Eurillas virens).
