Subspecies
No subspecies.

Sometimes considered to form a superspecies with Cyprus Warbler (Sylvia melanothorax). They are part of a group that also contains Dartford Warbler (Sylvia undata), Marmora's Warbler (Sylvia sarda), Balearic Warbler (Sylvia balearica), Tristram's Warbler (Sylvia deserticola), Spectacled Warbler (Sylvia conspicillata), Sardinian Warbler (Sylvia melanocephala), Rueppell's Warbler (Sylvia ruppeli) and Cyprus Warbler (Sylvia melanothorax). Original species name is almost certainly an unintended misspelling. However, original description yields no internal evidence to prove this, or even to justify any doubts. Current spelling must therefore be classed as an unjustified emendation. Nonetheless, present ICZN Code gives precedence to prevailing usage, which in this case overwhelmingly supports continued use of the spelling "rueppellii".
