Subspecies
Relationships of genus with rest of family uncertain. Probably, on basis of similarities in plumage pattern, most closely related to little-known Dusky Tetraka (Crossleyia tenebrosa).
Proposed subspecies andapae (Andapa) and ankafanae (Ankafana Forest, in Fianarantsoa) are poorly differentiated, and thus treated as synonyms of nominate.
zosterops (Sharpe, 1875) - Eastern and south-western Madagascar (Manongarivo and Tsaratanana Massif south to Tolagnaro, also isolated population at Analavelona).
