Subspecies
Subspecies glaucicomans has sometimes been considered a separate species on basis of differences in plumage and song. Birds in Assam (north-eastern India), hitherto considered to be within geographical range of nominate subspecies, exhibit characters of dialilaemus, and in Himalayas occasional males have throat pattern of latter subspecies, indicating wide range of overlap between the subspecies. Further clarification of ranges and racial boundaries in this region is required.

The following 5 subspecies are recognised:

  • rubeculoides (Vigors, 1831)   -  Breeds Himalayas from north-eastern Pakistan east to north-eastern India (Assam and Arunachal Pradesh south to Mizoram), southern China (south-eastern Xizang) and west, northern and north-eastern Myanmar. Non-breeding southern India (principally western Ghats), Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and southern Myanmar.
  • dialilaemus Salvadori, 1889   -  Eastern and south-eastern Myanmar and northern and western Thailand.
  • rogersi Robinson & Kinnear, 1928   -  Central and south-western Myanmar.
  • glaucicomans Thayer and Bangs, 1909   -  Breeds southern China (southern Shaanxi and western Hubei south to northern and eastern Yunnan). Non-breeding west-central and southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Chinese Blue-Flycatcher (Cyornis glaucicomans).
  • klossi Robinson, 1921   -  Eastern Thailand, southern Laos and southern Vietnam (central Annam south to Cochinchina). Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Hainan Blue-Flycatcher (Cyornis hainanus).
