Taxonomy: Laniarius lühderi Reichenow, 1874, Cameroon.
Forms a superspecies with L. brauni and L. amboimensis, and all formerly regarded as conspecific. Recent molecular-genetic work indicates that this superspecies is sister to the superspecies formed by L. aethiopicus and L. turatii. Races intergrade in Ruwenzori Mts (E DRCongo); species sometimes treated as monotypic. Two subspecies tentatively recognized.
