Genus closest to Stizorhina, the two forming a group which, in turn, is most closely related to New World Myadestes. Described races pallidigularis (from N Angola), kakamegoes (from Kakamega Forest, in Kenya) and nigridorsalis (N Nandi Forest, in W Kenya) all considered indistinguishable from praepectoralis. Two subspecies recognized.
