The following 3 subspecies are recognised:
sibilans Milne-Edwards & Oustalet, 1885 - Ngazidja (Grand Comoro) and Ndzuani (Anjouan) in Comoros; population on Praslin, Seychelles, may have been introduced, but appears to have colonized Curieuse through natural dispersion. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Comoro Parrot (Coracopsis sibilans).
