Taxonomic note
Phyllastrephus icterinus and P. lorenzi (del Hoyo and Collar 2016) were previously lumped as P. icterinus following Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993), Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993) and Fishpool and Tobias (2005).

Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species prior to its split from P. icterinus was described as generally common to abundant (del Hoyo et al. 2005), and it is found in several subpopulations.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be decreasing as a result of habitat loss.
