Subspecies

Zosterops atrifrons (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into Black-crowned White-eye (Zosterops atrifrons), Sangihe White-eye (Zosterops nehrkorni) and Seram White-eye (Zosterops stalkeri) following Rasmussen et al. (2000b).
Forms a superspecies with Cream-throated White-eye (Zosterops atriceps), Black-crowned White-eye (Zosterops atrifrons), Togian White-eye (Zosterops somadikartai), Seram White-eye (Zosterops stalkeri), Green-fronted White-eye (Zosterops minor), Tagula White-eye (Zosterops meeki) and Bismarck White-eye (Zosterops hypoxanthus). Formerly considered conspecific with Black-crowned White-eye (Zosterops atrifrons), but re-examination of the single type specimen (previously thought to have been lost) and recent field observations indicate clear differentiation, particularly in coloration of bill and legs, measurements and some other characters. Differs also in song and in being restricted to pristine habitats at higher altitudes.
