Hartert (1907b: 81) described the genus Xenocopsychus , of which ansorgei is the type species, at the same time (contra Sibley and Monroe, 1990: 535). Ripley (1964: 68) included the species ansorgei in the genus Cossypha . Sibley and Monroe (1990: 535) treated Xenocopsychus in the tribe Saxicolini , subfamily Muscicapinae ; Dickinson (2003: 678) placed it in the subfamily Saxicolinae , family Muscicapidae .
