Subspecies
Genus name formerly given as Domicella Wagler, 1832, since Lorius Boddaert, 1783, applicable to Eclectus, had priority. However, Boddaert's name was officially suppressed in 1970, leaving Lorius Vigors, 1825, as the correct name for present species and congeners. Forms a superspecies with Chattering Lory (Lorius garrulus), Purple-naped Lory (Lorius domicella) and Black-capped Lory (Lorius lory).

Proposed species "Lorius amabilis" (Stresemann's Lory) probably described from an aberrant individual of present species.

The following 3 subspecies are recognised:

  • devittatus Hartert, 1898   -  Bismarck Archipelago, south-eastern New Guinea, Trobriand Is, D'Entrecasteaux Archipelago and Woodlark I.
  • hypoinochrous Gray, 1859   -  Misima I and Tagula I (central Louisiade Archipelago).
  • rosselianus Rothschild & Hartert, 1918   -  Rossel I (eastern Louisiade Archipelago).
