Subspecies
Forms a superspecies with Green Turaco (Tauraco persa), Schalow's Turaco (Tauraco schalowi), Knysna Turaco (Tauraco corythaix), Black-billed Turaco (Tauraco schuettii) and Fischer's Turaco (Tauraco fischeri), a complex of allopatric forms formerly treated variably either as a single polytypic species or as three, five or six species. Formerly treated as conspecific with Schalow's Turaco (Tauraco schalowi) and Knysna Turaco (Tauraco corythaix), but vocal differences and cytogenetic researches point to specific recognition.
The following 3 subspecies are recognised:
reichenowi (Fischer, GA, 1880) - Nguru and Uluguru Mts south-east to Dabaga and Njombe Highlands, Tanzania.
cabanisi (Reichenow, 1883) - Coastal lowlands of Tanzania south of R Mligasi through Mozambique to north-eastern Zululand.
livingstonii (Gray, 1864) - Highlands east of the Rift in Malawi and adjacent northern Mozambique, south to eastern Zimbabwe (Inyanga to Mt Selinda).
