All subspecies, or perhaps only larutensis, may actually be subspecies of Javan Cuckooshrike (Coracina javensis).

Differences in calls and morphology suggest that nominate subspecies and layardi may represent a separate species.

The following 8 subspecies are recognised:

• nipalensis (Hodgson, 1836)   -  Himalayas from Garhwal and western Nepal east to north-eastern India (western Assam).
• macei (Lesson, 1831)   -  Central and southern India from Garhwal east to West Bengal and Orissa, south to Travancore.
• layardi (Blyth, 1866)   -  Sri Lanka (except north-western lowlands).
• andamana (Neumann, 1915)   -  Andaman Is.
• siamensis (Baker, ECS, 1918)   -  Myanmar, southern China (southern Guizhou, west, north-western and southern Yunnan), Thailand (south to Isthmus of Kra) and southern Indochina.
• larutensis (Sharpe, 1887)   -  Peninsular Malaysia (from northern Perak south to southern Selangor and Pahang).
• rexpineti (Swinhoe, 1863)   -  South-eastern China (Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian), Taiwan, northern Laos and northern Vietnam.
• larvivora (Hartert, 1910)   -  Hainan I.
