Taxonomy and systematics edit
The stripe-faced greenbul was originally described in the genus Xenocichla (a synonym for Bleda), then classified in Andropadus and, in 2010 re-classified to the new genus Arizelocichla.[4] Some authorities have considered the stripe-faced greenbul to be a subspecies of the stripe-cheeked greenbul.[5]
