Forms a superspecies with Angola Slaty-Flycatcher (Melaenornis brunneus) and White-eyed Slaty-Flycatcher (Melaenornis fischeri), and all are sometimes considered conspecific, but degree of difference and distributions suggest that treatment as allospecies is better.

• reichenowi (Neumann, 1902)   -  Western Ethiopia (Wallegha to Gimirra).
