These species were formerly placed in the genus Coracina. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that Coracina, as then defined, was non-monophyletic. In the resulting reorganization to create monophyletic genera these species were moved to the resurrected genus Ceblepyris.^[2]

The genus contains the following five species:^[3]

• Madagascar cuckooshrike (Ceblepyris cinereus)
• Comoro cuckooshrike (Ceblepyris cucullatus)
• Grauer's cuckooshrike (Ceblepyris graueri)
• White-breasted cuckooshrike (Ceblepyris pectoralis)
• Grey cuckooshrike (Ceblepyris caesius)
