Subspecies
No subspecies.

Phyllastrephus alfredi (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) was previously considered as distinct from Phyllastrephus flavostriatus but this treatment is no longer adopted, following a review by Fishpool and Tobias (2005). They pointed out that it is not known to differ vocally from the other subspecies of flavostriatus. Moreover, it shares the rather distinctive foraging habit of the other subspecies, which entirely encircle its range.

Considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Yellow-streaked Greenbul (Phyllastrephus flavostriatus).
