Ansorge's greenbul was originally described in the genus Andropadus and was re-classified to the genus Eurillas in 2010. [2] Alternatively, some authorities classify Ansorge's greenbul in the genus Pycnonotus . Some authorities have considered Ansorge's greenbul as a subspecies of the little grey greenbul.
