Remarks

Angola White-eye Zosterops kasaicus (including heinrichi and quanzae) is split from Northern Yellow White-eye Z. senegalensis on the basis of phylogenetic divergence (Martins et al. 2020). The specific epithet kasaicus Chapin, 1932 has priority over quanzae Meyer de Schauensee, 1933 (often attributed to 1932 but not actually published until 1933. [fide R. Dowsett.]).
