No subspecies.

Genus often subsumed in Nectarinia. Has been thought perhaps to form a superspecies with Palestine Sunbird (Cinnyris osea), Oustalet's Sunbird (Cinnyris oustaleti), White-breasted Sunbird (Cinnyris talatala) and Purple Sunbird (Cinnyris asiaticus). Birds from western shore of L Tanganyika, in eastern DRCongo, described as subspecies tanganyicae, but considered inadequately differentiated from birds elsewhere in species' range.
