Subspecies
Affinities unclear. Probably an old endemic species of Solomon Is. Previously listed as Zosterops ugiensis, as present name was erroneously applied to Solomons White-eye (Zosterops kulambangrae).
The following 4 subspecies are recognised:
hamlini Murphy, 1929 - Bougainville I, in north-western Solomon Sea. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Bougainville White-eye (Zosterops hamlini).
oblitus Hartert, 1929 - Guadalcanal, in east-central Solomon Is.
rendovae Tristram, 1882 - San Cristobal, in south-eastern Solomon Is.
