Taxonomy
editThe south Moluccan cicadabird was formally described in 1865 by the German ornithologist Gustav Hartlaub based on a specimen collected on the Indonesian island of Amboina Ambon in the Maluku Islands. He coined the binomial name Ceblepyris amboinense.[1] The south Moluccan cicadabird was formerly treated as conspecific with the common cicadabird (now renamed the Sahul cicadabird) (Edolisoma tenuirostre) but has been elevated to species status.[2] The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.[2]
