Taxonomy and systematics

The black-browed greenbul was originally described in the genus Xenocichla (a synonym for Bleda) and then classified in Andropadus . It was re-classified to the new genus Arizelocichla in 2010. [3] Some authorities have considered the Uluguru mountain greenbul to be a subspecies of the black-browed greenbul. [4] Alternate names for the black-browed mountain greenbul include the black-browed greenbul, Morogoro yellow-necked greenbul, northern mountain greenbul and southern mountain greenbul.
