Subspecies
Sometimes retained in the genus Edoliosoma. Forms a superspecies with Slender-billed Cicadabird (Edolisoma tenuirostre), Sumba Cicadabird (Edolisoma dohertyi), Sula Cicadabird (Edolisoma sula) and Makira Cicadabird (Edolisoma salomonis). Has been regarded as conspecific with Slender-billed Cicadabird (Edolisoma tenuirostre). Two individuals of present taxon collected in Seram Laut (Maar I) together with immature male evidently of Slender-billed Cicadabird (Edolisoma tenuirostre) (possibly of subspecies amboinensis), although identity of latter questionable. Considered better to treat present taxon as a separate species, pending resolution of the question of apparent sympatry on Maar.

No subspecies.
