Other proposed subspecies are pulchellum (described from Lushai Hills, in Assam) and cyanonotum (from Ichang, in Hubei, China), both subsumed in nominate, and vanheysti (from Brastagi, in northern Sumatra), merged with beccarii; umbratile (from Kao Kuap, in south-eastern Thailand) is a synonym of cambodianum. Birds on Panay (Mt Madja-as), in Philippines, apparently belong to an as yet undescribed subspecies.

The following 8 subspecies are recognised:

• ignipectus (Blyth, 1843)   -  Himalayas from Kashmir eastern to north-eastern India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam south to Mizo Hills), south-eastern Bangladesh, and southern and south-eastern China (southern Shaanxi south to south-eastern Xizang, Yunnan, Hainan, Guangdong and Fujian) south to Myanmar, northern Thailand, Laos, Vietnam (except central Annam and Cochinchina) and eastern Cambodia (Phumi Dak area).

• dolichorhynchum Deignan, 1938   -  Malay Peninsula.

• beccarii Robinson & Kloss, 1916   -  North to west-central Sumatra. Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Sumatran Flowerpecker (Dicaeum beccarii).
• luzoniense Ogilvie-Grant, 1894   -  Northern and central Luzon (N Philippines). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Fire-throated Flowerpecker (Dicaeum luzoniense).
