Taxonomy and systematics
[edit]The lowland tiny greenbul was originally described in the genus Xenocichla (a synonym for Bleda). Until 2009, the montane tiny greenbul was considered as conspecific with the lowland tiny greenbul as the tiny bulbul.[2][3] Some authorities continue to consider the two species as conspecific.[4]
