French: Zostérops d’Amboine German: Ambonbrillenvogel Spanish: Anteojitos de Ambon
Other common names: Ambon/Amboina/Kühn’s White-eye

Taxonomy: Zosterops kühni E. J. O. Hartert, 1906, Ambon.
Relationships uncertain; has been thought to be closest to Z. novaeguineae, and dusky feather centres on forecrown and white-greyish abdomen may indicate relationship to Z. atrifrons. Has been suggested to be related to Z. stalkeri, although both species may occur on Seram. Monotypic.
