Internationally, anis merah first described or named by John Latham in 1790 with the name Turdus citrinus. The difference in appearance of Anis Merah contained in various places to make the bird experts distinguish these types into several races, but Rasmussen and Anderton (2005) States that there exists the possibility of some kind of in 12 races.

In Indonesia, anis merah is in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java, and Bali. In Sumatra is estimated arrivals (migrants) from mainland Asia and likely there are two races, namelyraces Zoothera citrina innotata Zoothera citrina gibsonhilli and race. In the northern part of Borneo is bird settlers in the mountainous area, between 1000  1500 metres above sea level and is only known from a few notes on g. Kinabalu and Trus Madi Zoothera citrina race which is aurata. In Java and Bali can be found up to an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level. The race is in West part of Java are:

Zoothera citrina rubecula

Zoothera citrina rubeculadan which is in the eastern part of Java and Bali are Zoothera citrina orientis. The second race is only distinguished from the length of its wings.Zoothera citrina rubecula naming race conducted by Gould in 1836, in the meantime the name ras Zoothera citrina orientis given by Bartels, Jr. in 1938. Some bird experts doubt the racial anis merah located in West part of Java with the eastern Java and Bali.
