Taxonomy and systematics

The Uluguru mountain greenbul was originally described in the genus Arizelocichla in 1922.
It was then classified to the genus Andropadus before being re-classified back to the genus Arizelocichla in 2010. It was considered conspecific with the mountain greenbul until split to form a separate species in 2009. Some authorities have considered the Uluguru mountain greenbul to be a subspecies of the western mountain greenbul, mountain greenbul or black-browed mountain greenbul. Alternate names for the Uluguru mountain greenbul include the Mulanji mountain greenbul and Uluguru greenbul.
