Short-tailed Babbler © David Bakewell

Proposed subspecies sordida (north-eastern Borneo) and saturata (Bangka, Belitung, and western Borneo) both considered synonymous with poliogenys. Proposed subspecies feriata (from Mt Mulu, in north-western Borneo), based on single specimen, has characters apparently exhibited by juveniles of this species.

The following 4 subspecies are recognised:

• malaccense (Hartlaub, 1844)   -  Southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra and its islands, Anambas Is and northern Natuna Is.
• poliogenys (Strickland, 1849)   -  Bangka, Belitung and Borneo.
• saturatum (Robinson & Kloss, 1920)   -  Western Borneo, Bangka and Belitung islands.
• feriatum (Chasen & Kloss, 1931)   -  Extreme north-eastern Sarawak (Mt. Mulu).
