Taxonomy: Lobotus [sic] oriolinus Bates, 1909, Assobam, River Bumba, Cameroon.
Genus often merged with Campephaga, but separation appears justified on basis of colourful plumage, facial wattles, and sexual plumage similarity. Forms a superspecies with L. lobatus; sometimes regarded as conspecific, but male plumages distinct. Monotypic.

Distribution: S Cameroon, SW Central African Republic, N PRCongo and Gabon, also E DRCongo; unconfirmed report from SE Nigeria (Ikpan).
