White-spectacled warbler from Nimachen, Sikkim, India.

nominate subspecies was Seicercus affinis affinis (Moore, F., 1854) but within the enlarged genus the name affinis was occupied by Tickell's leaf warbler Phylloscopus affinis (Tickell, 1833) which had priority. A new name zosterops was introduced to replace affinis, but under the rules of the ICZN the subspecies intermedius now had priority and became the nominate form.[9]

Three subspecies are recognised:[8]

  • P. i. zosterops Elliott & del Hoyo, 2016 – east Himalayas to south China, north Laos and central Vietnam
  • P. i. intermedius (La Touche, 1898) – central and southeast China
  • P. i. ocularis (Robinson & Kloss, 1919) – south Vietnam
