Naming
The reddish myzomela of New Ireland was formerly considered conspecific, but phylogenetic evidence indicates that both are distinct species, and it has thus been split from it by the IUCN Red List, BirdLife International, and the International Ornithologists' Union.There are two recognized subspecies:
⤷ "M. c. cruentata" - New Guinea and Yapen
⤷ "M. c. coccinea" - New Britain and the Duke of York Islands
