Taxonomy: Zosterops anomala A. B. Meyer and Wiglesworth, 1896, Ujung Pandang (Makassar), south Sulawesi.
Closest relatives uncertain; Z. consobrinorum, Z. atrifrons and present species apparently replace one another geographically, but they differ too greatly in plumage coloration for close relationships to be likely. Monotypic.
