Taxonomy and systematics

The scaly-breasted bulbul was originally described in the genus Ixos and later moved to Pycnonotus . [3] Pycnonotus was found to be polyphyletic in recent molecular phylogenetic studies and three bulbul species, including the scaly-breasted bulbul, moved to Ixodia . [2] [4] Some authorities use Ixidia for the genus name because Ixodia was thought to be preoccupied. [1] [2]

Subspecies

Three subspecies are recognized: [2]
